Em Em Am Em Em

[Verse 1]
Em
Summer sun is swinging low
Em
Out here in the cotton row
Am
Surrounded by my sorrow
Em
Summer sun is swinging low

[Verse 2]
Em
Aint no mother for my brother and me
Em
Lost her back in 63
Am
Drowned herself in a sea of Jim Beam
Em
Aint no mother for a brother and me

[Chorus]
Em
So Im burnin the woodshed down
Em
Going to burn it to the ground
Am
Going to kick the ashes all around
Em
Im burnin the woodshed down

[Interlude]
Em Em Am Em Em

[Verse 3]
Em
Daddy beat me black and he beat me blue
Em
Broke his hickory stick in two
Am
God only knows what I'm bound to do
Em
Daddy beat me black and he beat me blue

[Chorus]
Em
So Im burnin the woodshed down
Em
Going to burn it to the ground
Am
Going to kick the ashes all around
Em
Im burnin the woodshed down

[Interlude]
Em Em Am Em

[Verse 4]
Em
Im gonna show that man just want I mean
Em
Pour out this can of kerosene
Am
Im going to toss a match into the breeze
Em
Im going to show that man just want I mean

[Chorus]
Em
So Im burnin the woodshed down
Em
Going to burn it to the ground
Am
Going to kick the ashes all around
Em
Im burnin the woodshed down
Am
Going to kick the ashes all around
Em
Im burnin the woodshed down
