High Cotton — Alabama
Chords and lyrics for High Cotton by Alabama (key of G).
Verse 1
[G]We didn't know the times were lean
[C]Around our home the grass was green
It [G]didn't seem like things were all that [D7]bad
I [G]bet we walked a thousand miles
[C]Chopping cotton and pushing plows
[G]And learning how to [D7]give it all we [G]had
[G]As life went on and years went by
[C]I saw the light in daddy's eyes
[G]And felt the love in mama's [D7]hands
[G]They kept us warm and kept us fed
[C]Taught us how to look [G]ahead
Now looking [D7]back I [G]understand
[G]We Were Walking in High Cotton
Old times [C]there are not forgotten
Those [G]fertile fields are never [D7]far away
[G]We were walking in high cotton
Old times [C]there are not forgotten
Leaving [G]home was the hardest [D7]thing we ever [G]faced
[G]When Sunday morning rolled around
[C]We dressed up in hand-me downs
Just in [G]time together with the [D7]church
[G]Sometimes I think how long it's been
[C]And how it impressed me then
It [G]was the only day my [D7]daddy wouldn't [G]work
[G]We Were Walking in High Cotton
Old times [C]there are not forgotten
Those [G]fertile fields are never [D7]far away
[G]We were walking in high cotton
Old times [C]there are not forgotten
Leaving [G]home was the hardest [D7]thing we ever [G]faced
