High Cotton Ukulele Chords

HIGH COTTON
Recorded by ALABAMA
Words and music by Scott Anders and Roger Murrah
 
[C] We didn't know the times were lean
A-[F] Round our home the grass was green
It [C] didn't seem like things were all that [G] bad
I [C] bet we walked a thousand miles
[F] Chopin' cotton and pushin' plows
And [C] learnin' how to [G] give it all we [C] had.
 
As life went on and years went by
I saw the light in daddy's eyes
And felt - the love in mama's hands
They kept us warm and kept us fed
Taught us how to look ahead
Now lookin' back, I think I understand.
 
Refrain:
[P] We Were Walkin' in [C] High Cotton
Old times [F] there are not forgotten
Those [C] fertile fields are never far a-[G] way
[P] We Were Walkin' in [C] High Cotton
Old times [F] there are not forgotten
Leavin' [C] home was the hardest [G] thing we ever [C] faced.
 
When Sunday morning rolled around
We dressed up in hand-me downs
Just in time, together with the church
Sometimes I think how long it's been
And how it impressed me then
It was the only day my daddy wouldn't work.
 
Refrain:
 
Change to D:
Refrain:
 
We Were Walkin' In High Cotton.
