Down Home — Jimmie Allen

						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

[Bridge]
                  G 
Daddy, don’t you worry (Oh no)
        D/F#
‘Cause everything, everything, everything’s good
      Em 
Down home (Down home), yeah
    C
And oh yeah

[Chorus]
      G
Down home

Oh, you know Mama’s still cookin’
           D 
Them down home grits

‘Cause I know you’re up there lookin’ down home
      D
Down home
         Em
Down home

[Outro]
          C
We still miss you
          C 
We still miss you
                  G
We miss you down home
