"Valdosta" by Corbette Jackson I got these chords from watching a video of one of his performances. Intro: G Verse 1: G D She left 3 months after graduation Em C For Valdosta and a higher education. G D C I stayed behind, took a job out there feeding grain. G D It was late night phone calls, working overtime Em C Doing anything to keep her mine, G D C Putting all my hard-earned dough in a diamond ring. Em D I was wide-eyed, young, in love, Em D C Heading to her college in my pickup truck, Em D But when I arrived, to my surprise, C C She was on the couch all whiskey-eyed, kissing on some other guy. Chorus: G D There comes a time when you get taught a lesson Em C Making it clear you've got a lot to learn G D C About love, life, and women. G D Well I learned mine out on Brookwood Drive, Em C Things ain't what they seem sometimes, G D C And heartache is just a part of living. D C Yeah I know a good education will cost you, G But I got mine for free, in Valdosta. [ Tab from: http://www.guitaretab.com/c/corbette-jackson/293057.html ] Verse 2: G D I didn't hang around for an explanation, Em C I laid out without hesitation G D C Right after I spit my dip in his eye. G D But if it wasn't for her promiscuous ways, Em C I'd have never stopped at that cafe G D C Where a sweet little brown-eyed girl asked me what I'd like. G D I said, "How 'bout a love that lasts, Em C A girl who's looking for an honest man?" G D She said, "I know how it feels C C When you're out there spinning your wheels, tryna find something real. Chorus: G D There comes a time when you get taught a lesson Em C Making it clear you've got a lot to learn G D C About love, life, and women. G D Yeah I learned mine out on Brookwood Drive, Em C Things ain't what they seem sometimes, G D C And heartache is just a part of living. D C Well I know a good education will cost you, G But I got mine for free, in Valdosta. G D Em C Bridge: Am Now that brown-eyed girl is riding shotgun, C We've got a sunset and a fifth of rum. Am And in my own way, I'm thankful now D for that little South Georgia college town. Chorus: G D There comes a time when you get taught a lesson Em C Making it clear you've got a lot to learn G D C About love, life, and women. G D Hey I learned mine out on Brookwood Drive, Em C Things ain't what they seem sometimes, G D C And heartache is just a part of living. G D C Yeah, I said a heartache is just a part of living. D I know a good education will cost you, C G D C But I got mine for free, in Valdosta. G D C Way down in Valdosta. G Ooohhh. End on G |
