Hundred And Ten In The Shade

[Intro] D  Am  D  C  D

D                    D
Way out there in the cotton
Am                  D
Sun beatin' down so hard
D
Sweat rollin' of this shovel
Am                         D
Diggin' in the devil's boneyard

G
Sure like a cool drink of water
Bb
Soft rag to soothe my face
D                    Am               D
Sure like a woman to talk to in this place

       D
It's a hundred and ten
G                      D
Hundred and ten in the shade
      D
Goin' way down
Am                   D
Mama won't you carry me

D                     D
Handle so hot I can't stand it
Am                        D
Might shrivel up and blow away
D
Noonday sun make you crazy
       Am                      D
Least, that's what the old men say

G
Bottom land hard as a gravestone
Bb
Couldn't cut it with an axe
D                       Am
Gonna lay me down right here
D
And that's a fact

       D
It's a hundred and ten
G                      D
Hundred and ten in the shade
      D
Goin' way down
Am                   D
Mama won't you carry me

[Solo] D  Am  D

D                     D
Sometimes late in the evenin'
Am                      D
Everything is quiet and still
D                          D
I set here and think about leavin'
Am                    D
Lord, I guess I never will

G
Heartache down in that city
Bb
Bright light scares me anyway
D                    Am           D
Sure like a woman to talk in this place

       D
It's a hundred and ten
G                      D
Hundred and ten in the shade
      D
Goin' way down
Am                   D
Mama won't you carry me
