I can hear music from somewhere inside,

The faint sound of a Hank William's tune,

I just caught the smell of a blackberry pie,

And ooh,   feel that breeze blowin',
     F          G           Am     G
That magnolia's showin' her bloom,

He ain't lookin' for nothin' to do,
         C          Em          Am        G
And that tractor is stirrin' up dust over there,

I can see grandma now in her old checkered dress,

Beatin' a rug with her broom,

The clouds are returnin' comin' in from the west,

Damn good job on this one. Just for the hell of it, I transposed it plus 2, put the capo 2nd fret across strings 1-5 and was tuned 1/2 step down. Sounds great.
