G                           C
Well, I live all alone in Chickasaw County
G         D
Out on 10 9
          G                           C
Where the rundown barns and rusted tr actors
    G          D     G
Are covered in kudzu vine
                                    C
Now, for 85 years, my people raised cotton
     G                  D
Till grandaddy lost his land
         G                                  C
And it's scattered all over this end of the state
        G      D           G
Gettin' by any way that we can

[Chorus]
     Em D       G    C G
But, un der the kudz u vine
                         D    G
The mighty south lies sl eepi ng
Em    D      G    C
Dream ing of grow ing
    G                 D
And slowly slipped aw ay
   Em    D           G     C
On autum nights like this, boys
      G               D
I can almost hear her weeping
C          D         G
Out there, under the kudzu

[Verse]
       G                                C
If you follow that hot tar road down to Jackson
    G                     D
You pass through Planters ville
G                                  C
That's where I worked and spent my money
   G               D        G
Un til they closed down the mill
I got read bad to drinkin'
             C      G                        D
My sweet Sam antha, packed up her things and moved
  G                           C
I hear she's a qualified beau tician
G               D     G
Working down in Baton Rogue

[Chorus]
     Em D       G    C G
But, un der the kudz u vine
                         D    G
The mighty south lies sl eepi ng
Em    D      G    C
Dream ing of grow ing
    G                 D
And slowly slipped aw ay
   Em    D           G     C
On autum nights like this, boys
      G               D
I can almost hear her weeping
C          D         G
Out there, under the kudzu

       C                   D
Yes, I walk on over to the Pitstop Market
    Em               G
And buy me a Coke to drink
  C                       C/B
I lay on the hood of this old Camero
    Am                  C    D
And wait for the sun to sink

   Em    D           G     C
On autum nights like this, boys

I can almost hear her weeping
C          D         G
Out there, under the kudzu
C          D         G
Out there, under the kudzu
