Intro G C G
CHORUS
G D/F# C G
If you ever get south of Cincinnati
C D G D D/E D/F#
Down where the dogwood trees grow
G D/F# C G
If you ever get south of the Mason Dixon
C D G D D/E D/F#
To the home you left so long ago
G D/F# C G
If you ever get south of the Ohio River
C D G D D/E D/F#
Down where Dixieland begins
G D/F# C G
If you ever get south of Cincinnati
C D G C G
I'll be yours again
G C G
She pulled the letter from the pages of her Bible
G D G
And a rose pressed inside the Book of Luke
G C G
For fourteen years she'd write each day but keep it hidden
G D G
Refused to even speak his name but still she wrote
Chorus
At a cold gray apartment in Chicago
A cigarette drowns inside a glass of gin
He lies there drunk, but it don't matter drunk or sober
He'll never read the words that pride won't let her send
Chorus
