Alan Jackson – Where I Come From (Guitar)

            E                                 A                 B
Well, I was rollin' wheels and shiftin gears 'round that Jersey Turnpike

     E                                   A             B
When Barney stopped me with his gun, ten minutes after midnight

     E                                A               B
Said sir, you broke the limit in this rusty ol' truck

        A                                B     N.C.
I don't know about that accent son, just where did you come from?

             E                 A             B
I said where I come from, it's cornbread and chicken

      E                    A           B
Where I come from, a lotta front porch sittin'

      E            A                B
Where I come from, tryin' to make a livin'

    D                      A                       E
And workin' hard to get to heaven, where I come from.

            E                               A               B
Well, I was south of Detroit City, I pulled in this country kitchen

   E                                A                B
To try their brand of barbecue, the sign said finger-lickin'

        E                                  A               B
Well, I paid the tab and the lady asked me how'd I like my biscuit

        A                         B     N.C.
I'll be honest with you ma'am, it ain't like mama fixed it.

             E                 A             B
'Cause where I come from, it's cornbread and chicken

      E                    A           B
Where I come from, a lotta front porch pickin'

      E            A                B
Where I come from, tryin' to make a livin'

    D                      A                       E
And workin' hard to get to heaven, where I come from.

      E                      A               B
I was chasin' sun on 101 somewhere around Ventura

  E                            A             B
I lost a universal joint and I had to use my finger

     E                              A               B
This tall lady stopped and asked if I had plans for dinner

     A                                      B     N.C.
Said no thanks ma'am, back home we like the girls that sing soprano.

             E                 A             B
'Cause where I come from, it's cornbread and chicken

      E                    A           B
Where I come from, a lotta front porch sittin'

      E            A                B
Where I come from, tryin' to make a livin;

    D                      A                       E
And workin' hard to get to heaven, where I come from.

            E                     A               B
Well, I was headed home on 65 somewhere around Kentucky

    E                                  A              B
The CB rang for the bobtail rig that's rollin on like thunder

      E                                      A               B
Well, I answered him and he asked me, aren't you from out in Tulsa

A                                        B       N.C.
No, but you mighta seen me there, I just dropped a load of salsa.

      E                 A             B
Where I come from, it's cornbread and chicken

      E                    A           B
Where I come from, a lotta front porch pickin'

      E            A                B
Where I come from, tryin' to make a livin'

    D                      A
And workin' hard to get to heaven, where I come -

        E                 A             B
- Where I come from, it's cornbread and chicken

      E                    A          B
Where I come from, a lotta back porch pickin'

      E            A                B
Where I come from, tryin' to make a livin'

    D                      A                       E
And workin' hard to get to heaven, where I come from.

A        B         E
   Where I come from.

A              B         E
   Yeah, where I come from.

        A           B       D
A lotta front porch sittin'

              A                       E
Starin' up at heaven, where I come from.

A        B         E
   Where I come from

     A           B
Tryin' to make a livin'

D    A                     E
       Oh, where I come from

A       B         E
