Brightleaf And Burley chords by American Aquarium

[Verse 1]
     Am
Our name's been on that mailbox
     F         C
The last 100 years
            Am
We're the walking definition
     F                C
Of blood, sweat and tears
          Am
You ask them who we are
         G                  F
They'll tell you mean and surly
             Am         G
We're the keepers of tradition
         F            C
That Brightleaf and Burley
 
 
[Chorus]
        F   C
We get low down
        F         C
We get high as a kite
 F             C
Lord I wish I may
        G
Lord I wish I might
     F           C
Be singing this song
        G               C
When I hit the pearly gates
   F              C           G C
Greetings from Tobacco Town, USA
   F              C           G C     G/B
Greetings from Tobacco Town, USA
 
[Verse 2]
             Am
I've been wandering these roads
      F              C
Since I was 3 years old
              Am
Watching the men I thought were gods
         F                 C
Turning green leafs into gold
         Am
Now the fields they all lay empty
         G                F
Curing barns are growing cold
         Am            G
All the while another cash crop
       F            C
Just begging to be sold
 
         Am
Yeah, we got the infrastructure
      F                 C
Lord know's we got the will
          Am
But a solution to a problem
        F                   C
Doesn't pay that problem's bills
                  Am
So they'll keep calling it illegal
        G             F
Keep pumping us with pills
       Am                 G
Tell Roosevelt what the Bible Belt
          F               C
Went and did to his New Deal
 
[Chorus]
        F   C
We get low down
        F         C
We get high as a kite
        F      C
Lord I wish I may
        G      C
Lord I wish I might
       F         C
Be singing this song
        G              C
When I hit the pearly gates
   F              C           G C
Greetings from Tobacco Town, USA
   F              C           G C
Greetings from Tobacco Town, USA
 
[Bridge]
          G
We could pay for oil
 F         C
Coal and steel
          G
If the factory work ain't left yet
        F              C
Bet a dollar that it will
       G
We redefined resilience
       F         C
We'll make it somehow
        Am               G                  F          C
But if God was going to save us, he'd have done it by now
        Am               G                   F          C
If your god was going to save us, he'd have done it by now
 
[Chorus]
        F   C
We get low down
        F         C
We get high as a kite
        F      C
Lord I wish I may
        G      C
Lord I wish I might
       F         C
Be singing this song
        G              C
When I hit the pearly gates
   F              C           G C
Greetings from Tobacco Town, USA
   F              C           G Am
Greetings from Tobacco Town, USA
 
[Outro]
