Chords

Reocorded by Alabama Written by Scott Anders & Roger Murrah
G
We didn't know the times were lean

C
Around our home the grass was green

    G                                     D7                
It didn't seem like things were all that bad

   G
I bet we walked a thousand miles

C
Chopping cotton and pushing plows

G                   D7               G
And learning how to give it all we had

G
As life went on and years went by

C
I saw the light in daddy's eyes 

G                           D7
And felt the love in mama's hands

G
They kept us warm and kept us fed

 C                    G
Taught us how to look ahead

            D7      G        
Now looking back I understand

G
We Were Walking in High Cotton

           C
Old times there are not forgotten

      G                        D7
Those fertile fields are never far away     

G
We were walking in high cotton 

          C           
Old times there are not forgotten

         G                   D7             G
Leaving home was the hardest thing we ever faced

G
When Sunday morning rolled around

C
We dressed up in hand-me downs

        G                       D7
Just in time together with the church

G
Sometimes I think how long it's been

C
And how it impressed me then

     G                 D7             G
It was the only day my daddy wouldn't work

G
We Were Walking in High Cotton

           C
Old times there are not forgotten

      G                        D7
Those fertile fields are never far away

 G
We were walking in high cotton

          C           
Old times there are not forgotten

        G                    D7            G
Leaving home was the hardest thing we ever faced
