Larkin Poe - Back Down South Chords

[Intro]
Gm Gm Gm C (x2)
 
[Verse 1]
Gm
The trees down in Georgia
Gm7
Grow as tall as a cross
             C/G
Where Little Richard was singing
                C
Where rock and roll learned to walk
Gm
Country blues in a bottle
Gm7
Get those tubes running hot
          C/G
'Til the serpents start hissing
              C
Y'all let me out of this box
 
[Chorus]
Eb
Streets of gold
C
Ain't that red dirt clay
Gm                      Csus4          Bb
Leave some peaches in a basket by the pearly gates
Eb
When my race is run
F
Hear that angel sound
C
May the good Lord show me mercy
Bb                Gm
Send me back down south
Gm                      C Bb
Send me back down south
 
[Verse 2]
Gm
Sweet Carolina
Gm7
From the north to the south
            C/G
Where those reapers be hot
                   C
And they put those tears in your mouth
Gm
Papa's got a new bag
Gm7
He gave it to Mr. Brown
         C/G
And Charlie got him a fiddle
            C
Before the devil went down
 
[Chorus]
Eb
Streets of gold
C
Ain't that red dirt clay
Gm                      Csus4          Bb

[Verse 3]
Gm
Way down in Macon
Gm7
Put your ear to the ground
           C/G
Where the brothers are sleeping
             C
And you can still hear the sound
Gm
Of a band that was singin'
Gm7
About a sky that was blue
      C/G
They sang it for me
             C
And now I'll sing it for you
 
[Chorus]
Eb
Streets of gold

Ain't that red dirt clay

May the good Lord show me mercy
                    C
Send me back down south
