Standard tuning and no capo. This is another song with alot of hammer ons, pull offs, and suspended notes but here are the
basic chords to it...
Intro: Em, G, D, A, Em, G, D, A
verse 1:
(Em) I had a buddy come down 'bout (G) last July, (D) called me when he crossed the Mason-(A)-Dixie line
(Em) Said he was headin' down south (G) and lookin' for a real good (D) time (A)
(Em) I said "man c'mon, I got a place (G) in mind", we pulled (D) up at a bar (A) right off the Georgia line
(Em) Walked in, man his (G) eyes got wide and when his (D) jaw hit the floor like it did, I smiled (A)
Pre-Chorus:
And he said (G) "man, we got some pretty women up north, but I ain't (A) never seen nothin' like this"
And I said (G) "man, these here ain't ordinary women, (A) we call these G.R.I.T.S."
Chorus:
(Em) She's a product of bein' (G) raised in the country
(D) Knows her roots and works (A) hard for her money
(Em) Southern draw and (G) dark tan legs
(D) Ain't nothin' like a women southern (A) born and bred
(Em) She loves her mom and daddy and the (G) Lord to death
(D) actin' innocent playin' (A) hard to get
(Em) Tonight the girls are (G) out on the town
(D) G.R.I.T.S. man, a girl (A) raised in the south
Intro again
verse 2:
He sat (Em) down at the bar and had a (G) couple drinks, (D) breakin' his neck, just (A) scoopin' the scene
(Em) It wasn't long for he my (G) attention pointin' toward the (D) door (A)
(Em) Starin' at long legs that ran into (G) boots, her short (D) skirt and t-shirt didn't (A) have much use
But she (Em) walked right to the (G) jukebox and fired it (D) up (A)
Pre-Chorus:
She had (G) every head turnin', boys eyes was burnin' as she (A) made her way out to the floor
(G) Had the jealous girls lookin' on sayin' she ain't nothin' but a, (A) Oh my God, she just broke it down low
