G D Em C
………….
[Verse 1]
G
I bet you’re up there, makin’ new friends
D
I’m pretty sure you’re lovin’ every minute
Em
If there’s a golden pond full of fish
C
I bet you already caught everything in it
G
I bet you’re makin’ everybody laugh with your jokes
D
I know you’re holdin’ nothin’ but the best kind of hope
Em C
Shinin’ a light up there with a big old smile, yeah
And meanwhile
[Chorus]
G
Down home
Oh, you know Mama’s still cookin’
D
Them down home grits
I promise I’m workin’
Em
With this guitar about as hard as I can
C
I met a girl, bought a house, I put a nice little paym?nt
G
Down home
Is still where my h?art is
D
This down home kid is just how you left him
Em
I still hate that you’re gone
I wish you were here
C
But I hope I’m making you proud
G D
‘Cause I know you’re up there lookin’ down home..
[Verse 2]
G
There ain’t a day down here that goes by
D
That I don’t climb up in my F-150
Em
On a backroad bumpin’ Charley Pride
C
Yeah, every song keeps you right here with me
G
I got a daughter now, I really you’d have met
D
And she’s walking now but I know you see every step
Em
I wear the number fifteen every chance I get
C
So when you’re lookin’ through the clouds, Daddy
You can bet
[Chorus]
G
Down home
Oh, you know Mama’s still cookin’
D
Them down home grits
I promise I’m workin’
Em
With this guitar about as hard as I can
C
I met a girl, bought a house, I put a nice little paym?nt
G
Down home
Is still where my h?art is
D
This down home kid is just how you left him
Em
I still hate that you’re gone
I wish you were here
C
But I hope I’m making you proud
G
‘Cause I know you’re up there lookin’ down home
