Pocahontas Proud(Ukulele chords)

	        Intro: D 
 
Verse 1:  
D 
I was raised in Pocahontas Illinois 
Everybody thought of me as on of the boys 
          A            G          D 
Cause I’d run with the crowd that tough 
 
Verse 2: 
D 
At 15 I was tendin’ big O’s bar 
And I’d sing till 2am for a half-full tip jar 
           A            G               D 
Spent my youth singin truth and payin dues 
 

A                          G              D 
I’m the biggest thing that ever came from my home town 
A                  G            D 
And I’ll be damned if I’m gonna let ‘em down 
A                             G                                              
If it’s the last thing that I do  
            D   A  G  D   A 
Before they lay me in the ground 
                                   D 
You know I’m gonna make Pocahontas proud
 
 
V: 
D 
And I knocked on every door on music row 
They looked down to me and said,                                                 
                            A           G 
“Girl go back home you aint got what we need  
        D 
In this town' 
 
(Key Change) 
E 
They couldn’t whoop the fightin’ side of me 
                            N.C.           B 
Where I come from we don’t give up easily over night 
            A          E 
Took all my life to be found 
 
Chorus: 
B                          A              E

B                  A            E 
And I’ll be damned if I’m gonna let ‘em down 
B                             A               
If it’s the last thing that I do

At 27 I had baby Grace 
I was born again when I saw her sweet face 
      B                 A 
And I knew, she was the greatest

Thing I’d ever do
