G C G Bm/D D White boys howling in the evening on that hollow log. Em C D Dsus - D Tall tales down the river say we aim to bury the truth. Em C G/D D The right hand just delivered the devil in a suit. C G/B Am G D Dsus D Dsus C And he talks big in Whitewash County. C G/B Am G D Dsus D Dsus Talks sweet as su - gar cane. Em D C G/B F C/E Cm/Eb Got a past that's filled with lightning. Got a future filled with rain. G C G C G D DaddE - D Bug buzzing in an empty glass, fiddle scratching some lazy tune. G C G Bm/D D We're just some place that history passed - new dust, new broom. G C G C G D DaddE - D And it's a high hot buttered moon, he's got a shiny new wax face. G C G Bm/D D Swears the South's gonna rise again soon all over the place. {Repeat Chorus} C G/B Am G D Dsus D Dsus D Dsus Rain down on Whitewash County.
