Chords

[Intro] D C G A D [Verse 1] N.C. I was raised in the shadows of an old cotton mill
                            D
Back when believin' was the style

                        C        D
Small town heaven and a big eyed boy

G                      D
Made sweet music for a while

                                 C
My daddy worked hard down at the   factory

G                    D
Nights he went to GI school

                                C      D
He didn't know nothin' bout the silver spoon

       G                   D    D
But he lived by the golden rule

       Em                        G
Summer nights he was gone me and momma stayed home

D                      C    A
Out on the front porch swing

D                           G
Wishin' on the stars in the southern sky

    D            A       D
And sometimes we used to sing
[Chorus]
        G       D
We were leaning leaning on

    G           D       G
The everlasting arms of love

D                  G
  Livin' all those simple joys

     D     A           D
This Dixie boy is made of

[Verse 2]
       D                       C
Got my real education from the TV station

    G                         D
And good ole boys down at the park

                             C
The say Hey Willie and those rockabillies

G                      D
Made their way into my heart

                         C
I remember the old folks sittin' round talkin'

   G                    D
On laidback Sunday afternoons

                           C
They said them young folks sure got a hard road

G                            D    D
  Oh, they're growin' up too soon

      Em                            G
Now I know they were right and as I sit here tonight

D                      C     A
Out on the front porch swing

    D                       G
The stars are shinin' in my young boy's eyes

D              A       D
Just like they did for me
[Chorus]
        G       D
We were leaning leaning on

    G           D       G
The everlasting arms of love

D                  G
  Livin' all those simple joys

     D     A           D
This Dixie boy is made of
[Chorus]
        G       D
We were leaning leaning on

    G           D       G
The everlasting arms of love

D                  G
  Livin' all those simple joys

     D     A           D
This Dixie boy is made of
