Last fall we [F#m] elected the man [G] from Plain,
[D] [Em] and there was lots of [A] talk about a [D] great big change.
But the Atlanta [F#m] Braves, they still lose [G] too many games,
[D] [Em] and the near South, [A] thank God,
is [D] still the same.
Old [F#m] Nashville still got a [G] song and dance, [Em] and the Florida [A] girls still wear no [D] wonder pants.

[Bm] [Em] and it was very [A] chic now to speak [D] Southern lines.
