E5 + pattern E5 +
Take me back to South Tallahassee
E+
Down cross the bridge to my sweet sassafrassee
+5
Can't stand up on my feet in the city
+5
Got to get back to the real nitty gritty
A7
Yes sir no sir don't come close to my home sweet home
Can't catch no dose from a hot tail poontang
sweetheart sweat who could make silk purse from a J.
E5 +
Paul Get and his ear with her face in her beer
D A E5 +
Home sweet home
E5 + +5
Get out in the field put the mule in the stable
+5
Ma she's a cookin' put the eats on the table
+5
Hate's in the city and my love's in the meadow
+5
Hand's on the plough but my feet's in the ghetto
A7
Stand up sit down don't do nothin' it ain't no good
when boss man's stuffin' it down their throats for
paper notes and their babies cry while cities lie at
E5 +
their feet when you're rockin the streets
D A E5 +
Home sweet home
