Palmetto rose in[A] the AC vent
Cross stitched pillow where the head rest went
[D]Said his cab was his orneriest friend
[A]Left him jumping like trees in the wind
[A]Thought he had the red lights memorized
Glass in the gravel like the stars in the sky
[D]In that slow motion minute between living and dead
[A]Looked in my eyes and he told me, he said
This [A]war that I wage to get [D]up every [A]day
It's a fiberglass boat, it's [E]azaleas in [A]May
It's the [F#m]women I [E]love and the [D]law that I [A]hate
Lord let me die in the [D]Iodine [A]State
Lord let me die in the [E]Iodine [A]State
(During the last part of the chorus, mimic the vocal melody with something like this:

[A]Palmetto rose in the sidewalk mud
Pearly white stem and a big green bud
[D]Catch him coming out of a King Street store
[A]Bullsht story about the Civil War
[A]You can believe what you want to believe
But there ain't no making up a basket weave
[D]Everybody in the tri-county knows
[A]Who makes the best palmetto rose
This [A]war that I wage to get [D]up every [A]day
It's a fiberglass boat, it's [E]azaleas in [A]May

Violin: F#m E D A
Out on [D]Sullivan's Island, they're [A]swimming
On the [D]beach where the big boats rolled[A] in
With the[D] earliest slaves, women and [A]children
Our first [E]American kin
Here on [D]King Street we're selling our [A]roses
[D]Two for a five dollar [A]bill
And [D]tonight after everything [A]closes
I'll follow my own [E]free will
And I've [F#m]taken my [E]fill[D][A]
I've [F#m]taken my[E] fill[D][A]
