 Tonight it's hot down here, I can almost smell the rain

G                 C         G       Bm        D   Dsus4 D
 And I can almost taste the fear, behind your name

G                         C  G     Bm             D  Dsus4 D
White boys howling in the evening, on that hollow log
[Pre-Chorus]
Em                    C                    G/B      D    Dsus4 D
  Tall tales down the river, Say we aim to bury the truth

        Em                C            G          D
But the right hand just delivered, The devil in a suit

And he talks big in Whitewash County

Talks sweet as su-gar cane

      Em   D      C      G/B  F
Got a past that's filled with lightning

Got a future filled with rain

 Bug buzzing in an empty glass, fiddle scratching some lazy tune

G                           C       G           Bm        D    Dsus4 D
 We're just some place that history passed, new dust, new broom

 And it's a high hot buttered moon, he's got a shiny new wax face

G                         C          G         Bm       D    Dsus4 D
 Swears the South's gonna rise again soon, all over the place

Em                    C                    G/B      D    Dsus4 D
  Tall tales down the river, Say we aim to bury the truth

        Em                C            G          D
But the right hand just delivered, The devil in a suit
