From Cotton To Satin(Chords)

     E                            A   
From cotton to satin, from Birmingham to Manhattan 
       E                     B7 
From a pickup to a long limousine 
     E                            A  
From cotton to satin, from Birmingham to Manhattan 
E          B7         E 
She had to follow her dream
 
 
  E                      A             E     
I saved up enough to buy her one small diamond 
           E                           B7 
That's the year that old tractor broke down 
        E                                A               E 
And the dream house I promised her still lies by a shade tree 
         E          B7          E 
Some old bricks and boards all around 
 
She begged me to take her to see New York city 
So I mortgaged the farm and we were gone 
But while we were there she took up with a rich man 
I came back to the country alone

Now, there is the garden where she touched every flower 
            F                              C7 
There's the meadow where we walked hand in hand 
   F                            Bb            F 
If only she'd waited she'd have more than she dreamed of 
    F                 C7        F 
For today they struck oil on my land 
 
 
Up ½ step to F# 
She went from cotton to satin, from Burmingham to Manhattan 
From a pickup to a lonely limousine 
From cotton to satin, from Burmingham to Manhattan 
She had to follow her dream 
She went from cotton to satin
