Chord/Tab song: Good God Have Mercy

(Intro)[E7]

[E7] Down in South Carolina, in the piney woods

[E7] Where they make sweet turpentine

[A] There I first saw the light of day

[E7] Landin' on my mind

[A] Runnin' in the sunshine laughing

[E7] Rollin' in the red dirt crying

[E7] I said [C]mmmm [D]mmmm

[E7] Good God have mercy

[E7] Cannery warehouse baby, I went to school

[E7] I eat lunch from the cans of our store

[A] Heatin' them up on a pot-bellied stove

[E7] I used to keep out in the cold

[A] Sittin' around, you know, just tellin' lies about uh

[E7] What I'd be when I grew old

[E7] I said [C]mmmm [D]mmmm

[E7] Good God have mercy

[E7] Trestle track, now mama

[E7] Where the BNN used to haul

[A] Freight train caught daddy one day

[E7] He took a long, long fall

[A] I'd only been taught to think on life

[E7] Never thought on death at all

[E7] I said [C]mmmm [D]mmmm

[E7] Good God have mercy

(Solo)

[E7] Now every Sunday after church

[E7] There'd be a meeting on the ground

[A] Some good soul she would always say

[E7] It's a shame about Frieda Brown

[A] Mama and the ladies they formed a society

[E7] They run Frieda out of town

[E7] I said [C]mmmm [D]mmmm

[E7] Good God have mercy

[E7] Daddy's on the main line, mama wants him home

[E7] Daddy's on the main line, the kids all need him home

[E7] Good God have mercy
