[Verse]
CG F
Just a 4 by 6 slab a Georgia pine
C GF
Coffee stains cover up the chip in egg shell white
C GF
Dad bought it new in 198---2
Am
And it ain’t left that dining room
G
Since it rolled off
F
That Sears assembly line
[Chorus]
C G
It was the start and end of every day
Fadd9
Hats off heads down
G
Who’s turn is it to pray
AmG
Gather round cryin’ and laughing
Fadd9
More than just the biscuits we were in’
C G
Where I learned the words kids shouldn’t say
Fadd9 G
And that’s to be excused before you walked away
AmC
All the life lessons you can’t learn on no label
Am C
Right there around Mama's kitchen table
[Instrumental]
C G F F
[Verse]
C G F
It was built for 6 But there was never less than 8
CG
It’s held a lifetimes worth of my homework
F
And homemade birthday cakes
C G F
And those cups I used to drink my apple juice
Am
Had more than once been filed with Booz
G
On the weekends
F
when my folks went away
[Chorus]
C G
It was the start and end of every day
Fadd9
Hats off heads down
G
Who’s turn is it to pray
AmG
Gather round cryin’ and laughing
Fadd9
More than just the biscuits we were in’
C G
Where I learned the words kids shouldn’t say
Fadd9 G
And that’s to be excused before you walked away
AmGFadd9
All the life lessons you can’t learn on no label
AmG Fadd9
Right there around Mama's kitchen table
GAmFadd9G
Around Mama's kitchen table
[Bridge]
C G
Yeah it’s Where I learned to hold and fold and raise
Fadd9 G
And it ain’t always about who wins the game
Am GFadd9
And all the life lessons you can’t find on no label
Am G Fadd9
I’ve had a seat right there since the day I left the cradle
G CGF
Around Mama's kitchen table
CGF
Around Mama's kitchen table
