Misc Originals – Cole Chrisman - Third Saturday In October (Guitar)

G
It's the third weekend in October

D
Skier are crisp and gold

Em
And only some of yall really get it

C
Some stories ain't ever told

G
But for the boys back home in Tennessee

D
Their hearts beat checkerboard

Em
Their eyes glued to them TV screens

C
Like it's the old Civil War

G
There's a watch party out on Nashville Ave

D
Where Easton just had that kid

Em
But he's rocking that tiny orange jersey

C
Like his daddy once did

G
And here in the south, you learn real young

D
Bout pride and who you are

Em
You don't just bleed red, son

C
You bleed like Neyland stars

G
Cause it's bama hate and whiskey shots

D
Granny praying in that parking lot

Em
The ghosts of 98' still talk

C
Everytime them Vols take that walk

G
Ain't just football, it runs deeper

D
In every preacher, farmer, and teacher

Em
Yeah, in the south, this game our closure

C                 G
Third Saturday in October

G
Smokers cooking, beers flowing

D
Someone's uncle telling lies

Em
Talkin' bout when Peyton

C
Should've got that Heisman prize

G
Even pawpaws got his lucky cap

D
From that cold day in 85'

Em
When they tore through bama

C
Like a brush fire come alive

Em                                   C
Win or lose, we still sing Rocky Top loud

G                               D
With orange hearts in a crimson crowd

Em                        C
And even if we fall short again

G                              D
We'll be right here next year, my friend

G
Cause it's bama hate and whiskey shots

D
Granny praying in that parking lot

Em
For every boy who wore that T

C
It's more than a game, it's legacy

G
Ain't just football, it runs deeper

D
In every preacher, farmer, and teacher

Em
This ain;t just pride, it's southern culture

C                 G
