I actually play this each time I reach the Em. It somewhat emulates
what Rich Robinson does, when playing this song in open G..
INTRO Em - Ebm - D Db - C G
x2
VERSE-1
G F#m Bm
She she came from the land of the cotton
Em Em7 C G
Land that was nearly forgotten by everyone
G F#m Bm
And She worked and she slaved so hard
Em Em7 C G
A big old field was her back yard in the delta sun
F C G
Oh
Oh, but she sure could sing
F C G
Oh
Oh, she sure could sing
VERSE-2
G F#m Bm
He
He looked down and he took a little pity
Em Em7 C G
The whole town swore they knew it was to help her some
G F#m Bm
And he
He didn't mind if she wasn't very pretty
Em Em7 C G
For deep inside his heart he knew She was the only one
CHORUS
F C G
Oh
Oh, but she sure could sing
F C G
Oh
Oh, she sure could sing
BRIDGE

And she prayed every night to the Lord up above

VERSE-3
G F#m Bm
They
Used to walk singing songs by the river
Em Em7 C G
Even when she knew for sure She had to go away
G F#m Bm
She, she never knew what her life had to give her
Em Em7 C G
She never had to think about it For one single day
CHORUS
BRIDGE
Repeat VERSE-1
CHORUS X 2 to End
