Gene Watson – From Cotton To Satin (Guitar)

     E         E7                 A
From cotton to satin, from Birmingham to Manhattan

       E                     B7
From a pickup to a long limousine

     E         E7                 A
From cotton to satin, from Birmingham to Manhattan

E          B7         E     A
She had to follow her dream

  E         E7           A             E
I saved up enough to buy her one small diamond

           E                           B7
That's the year that old tractor broke down

        E             E7                 A         E
And the dream house I promised her still lies by a shade tree

         E          B7          E
Some old bricks and boards all around

    E                        A            E
She begged me to take her to see New York City

     E                              B7
So I mortgaged the farm and we were gone

    E             E7             A         E
But while we were there she took up with a rich man

       E           B7       E    C7
I came back to the country alone

    F            F7               Bb            F
Now there is the garden where she touched every flower

            F                              C7
There's the meadow where we walked hand in hand

   F          F7                Bb            F
If only she'd waited she'd have more than she dreamed of

      F               C7        F    C#7
For today they struck oil on my land

              F#        F#7                B
She went from cotton to satin, from Birmingham to Manhattan

       F#                          C#7
From a pickup to a long, lean limousine

     F#        F#7                B
From cotton to satin, from Birmingham to Manhattan

F#         C#7        F#    C#7
She had to follow her dream

              F#        B F#
She went from cotton to satin
