High Cotton Chords
Demo Lyrics & Pdf
This song is a typical three chord country song until it changes key a full step near the end. The chords you'll need here are:
- D
- G
- A7
- E
- A
- B7
This one I play with a capo on the 3rd fret and i use drop D tuning, but that's always optional. The song starts in the D, G A7 format and then the chorus is sung twice more in the E, A and B7 chords.

For rhythm here, besides the one shot downstrokes, you can use a root down up down up down up .. repeat. There is a bit of picking in this one to duplicate some fiddle parts.
High Cotton Lyrics
We didn't know the times were lean
Round our house the grass was green
It didn't seem like things were all that bad
I bet we walked a thousand miles
Choppin' cotton and pusing plows
And learnin' how to give it all we had
As life went on and years went by
I saw the light in daddy's eyes
And felt the love in mamma's hands
They kept us warm and kept us fed
Taught us how to look ahead
Now lookin' back I understand
We were walkin' in high cotton
Old times there are not forgotten
Those fertile fields are never far away
We were walkin' in high cotton
Old time there are not forgotten
Leavin' home was the hardest thing we ever faced
When Sunday mornings rolled around
We dressed up hand-me-downs
Just in time to gather with the church
Some times I think how long it's been
And how it impressed me then
It was the only day my daddy wouldn't work
We were walkin' in high cotton
Old times there are not forgotten
Those fertile fields are never far away
We were walkin' in high cotton
Old time there are not forgotten
Leavin' home was the hardest thing we ever faced
We were walkin' in High Cotton
