Johnny Paycheck - From Cotton To Satin guitar chord

From Cotton To Satin

By Johnny Paycheck

Capo 4 (or tune down ½ step)

Chorus

E A

From cotton to satin, from Birmingham to Manhattan

E B7

From a pickup to a long limousine

E A

From cotton to satin, from Birmingham to Manhattan

E B7 E

She had to follow her dream

E A E

I saved up enough to buy her one small diamond

E B7

That's the year that old tractor broke down

E A E

And the dream house I promised her still lies by a shade tree

E B7 E

Some old bricks and boards all around

She begged me to take her to see New York city

So I mortgaged the farm and we were gone

But while we were there she took up with a rich man

I came back to the country alone

Key Change

F Bb F

Now, there is the garden where she touched every flower

F C7

There's the meadow where we walked hand in hand

F Bb F

If only she'd waited she'd have more than she dreamed of

F C7 F

For today they struck oil on my land

Up ½ step to F#

She went from cotton to satin, from Burmingham to Manhattan

From a pickup to a lonely limousine

From cotton to satin, from Burmingham to Manhattan

She had to follow her dream

She went from cotton to satin
