Am               D
Concret steps, mockingbird feeder

wrap around porch , rusted hot water heater
C                                         D
washing machine thumpin on that hardwood floor

Oak tree tire swing, rain in the gutters
D
screen door slammin, momma's cookin with butter
C                                           D
breeze is blowin in through the red french doors

[Bridge]
G                          C
And all these things are responsible for ways
G                                C
that have planted my feet on a firm foundation

[Chorus]
Dm                        C
Say yes sir, no ma'am, thank you, please
       F                         G
when times get tough you better hit your knees
Dm                         C
Don't you go callin that kettle black
               F               G
and when you get ticked off, water off a duck's back
                      C   G                  C
living by the good word, built on more than wood
                        D    C F G D C F G
that's where my house stood

[Verse 2]
C
Tiptoein' down that muddy creek water
                         D
Tractor cranks up and I hear daddy holler
C                                          D
You know them beans ain't gonna pick themselves
C                D
Moonshine in and out comes the guitar

Stompin' my feet to the sound of that freight car
C
Even though the rooster crows early
                  D
we ain't goin to bed

[Bridge]
     G                     C
And all these things are responsible for ways
           G                    C
that have planted my feet on a firm foundation

[Chorus]
Dm                      C
Say yes sir, no ma'am, thank you, please
      F                          G
when times get tough you better hit your knees
Dm                        C
don't you go callin that kettle black
              F                G
and when you get ticked off, water off a duck's back
                     C    G                  C
living by the good word, built on more than wood
                        D   C F G D
that's where my house stood
