DeANN'S DENIM (ACOUSTIC) As recorded by Zach Bryan (From the 2026 Album WITH HEAVEN ON TOP - ACOUSTIC) [Intro] C C/F C Am Gadd11 C [Verse 1]
C
DeAnn's denim dress has got a dandelion scent

     C/F                                C
That drifts  with her as she rounds the door

Am                         Gadd11
Saw photograph if not from eight then ten years back

     C                                  Fsus2
Of a birthday cake with a lit up twenty four

      C
And I miss times I drank 'cause I'd never overthink

      C/F                  C
And I never gave into this lore

    Am                            Gadd11
You ain't Jesus Christ 'cause you don't think twice

C                             C/F
Sunday when you pass a liquor store
[Chorus]
      Am   G       C/F         C
Well, time changes all, you'll see

          C              C/F         G      Am7
Did you become what your mama wanted you to be?

            Am               G              C/F    C
And are you strong enough to stay away from family genes?

       C       C/F         G        Am7
'Cause DeAnn's denim was a stubborn thing

      Am      G           C/F      C
Well, DeAnn's denim was a stubborn thing
[Verse 2]
      C
Well, I recall a letter that she sent to me on base

     C/F               C
When I was out playin' patriot

    Am                       Gadd11
She said she was leaving the house, headed out

    C                         Fsus2
And finally had the nerve for facin'  it

    C
The genes that her daddy left were workin' in vintage and

Fsus2                       C
Procter's daddy did 'em the same

        Am                              Gadd11
He said I could change my suit and tie, pray  all night to Jesus Christ

         C                        C/F
But he'd belt my ass if I changed my name
[Chorus]
       Am   G       C/F        C
'Cause time changes all you'll see

          C             C/F          G      Am7
Did she become what her daddy wanted her to be?

        Am               G              C/F    C
Was she strong enough to stay away from family genes?

           C      C/F         G    Am7
'Cause sometimes, denim is an ugly thing

          Am     G           C/F  C
Well, sometimes, denim is an ugly thing
[Outro]

Cleaned out the closet, found some closure when I threw those old blue jeans on the floor

C                                  C/F                        Am        Gadd11       Fsus2
Cleaned out the closet, found some closure when I threw those old  blue jeans on the floor

Am                                 Gadd11                     C                     C/F
