Verse 1
We packed our few
D
belongings and we moved across the ocean
Em
To start a new life in this

land so bold and vast
Em
Dispersed from Ellis Island,
D
my distant Irish kin
Em
D
Eyes cut to the future,
Em
heart's tied to the past
C
Verse 2

D
We held tight to our loved ones
and we held on to the promise

And we scraped our meager

living hand to mouth

every doubting John Thomas

Spreading through the

Appalachia ever south

Verse 3

Bm
And I hear we weren't welcomed here,
D
at least not in those days
Em
No one needs our drunken,
D
fighting, thieving kind
Em
But we settled in this new place
D
and we worked it in our ways
Em
D
And spread our kin upon it in due time

And we fought our losing battles
G
D
and we held onto our ways

And we talk of how we left behind
G

our better days

Some were living lives of leisure,
G
D
some surviving hand to mouth
Em
Bash our heads against the future,

ever south

Bash our heads against the future

Verse 5
Em
When I set my sights upon you,
D
we were both still in our prime
Em
We were moving in big circles
D
that I sought out to combine
Em
And I held you in my arms and
D
swore eternal love this time
Em
Tried to lasso brighter futures
D
and let it drag us both behind
Em
Lasso brighter futures,
D
let it drag us both behind

Verse 6
D
C
So we aimed our sights westward
G
like so many did before
D
C
Expanding our horizons to
G
D
some distant shore
C
Where everyone takes notice of
G
D
the drawl that leaves our mouth
Em
So that no matter where we are
D
we're ever south
Em
No matter where we are we're

Verse 7
Em
Now my Christian Southern brethren
D
will tell you all what for
Em
To keep your heathen ways up in you

and your shoes outside the door

Take your stand for noble causes till

you just can't stand no more
Am

And surrender to some savior,
D
praise the Lord

Surrender to some savior,

Verse 8
D
Em
But despite our best intentions,
D
it pains me to report
Em
We keep swinging for the fences,
D
coming up a little short
Em
We sure can get it wrong
D
for someone so devout
Em
I hear you whistling past
D
the graveyard looking down
Em
Whistling past the graveyard

Verse 9
C
Ever Southern in my carriage,
G
D
ever southern in my stance
C
In the Irish of my complexion
G
D
and the Scottish in my dance

In the way I bang my head against
G
D
my daily circumstance
C

G
D
C
Let this blue eyed southern devil
G
D
take you out upon the prowl
C
With decadence and charm
G

we'll take it into town

Tell you stories of our fathers and

D
the glories of our house
Em
Always told a little slower,
