Intro: E F#m7 (x2) 
  

[Verso 1]
 
E 
 It's got a touch of the town where I grew up 
F#m7 
 Something in it them California girls love 
E 
 Some people like to make a little fun of 
F#m7 
 The way I talk 
E 
 It gets slower after three or four cold beers 
F#m7 
 And gets louder when I'm cheerin' on the Volunteers 
E 
 Folks know I'm country, when they hear 
F#m7 
 The way I talk 
  

[Refrão]

             E 
 It sounds a little bit like my daddy 
  
 I don't cuss around my mama 
          B 
 Got some words you've never heard 
  
 'Less you come from down yonder 
     C#m 
 The man upstairs gets it 
  
 So I ain't tryna fix it 
A 
 No I can't hide it 
  
 I don't fight it, I just roll with it 
E                                     B 
 Oh, kinda slow like the Mississippi rolls 
                      C#m 
 It's the only way I know 
                  A 
 Man it ain't my fault 
  
 I just live the way I talk

[Verso 2]
 
             E 
 Yeah it's, "Yessir, no ma'am, y'all come back, now" 
F#m7 
 Fighting words if you run my last name down 
E 
 I ain't ashamed, matter of fact I'm damn proud 
F#m7 
 Of the way I talk, y'all

[Ponte]

  E                                       B 
 Slow, like a Sunday morning service back home 
                                       F#m7 
 And kinda sweet when I got a girl to love on 
                      A 
 If you know me, you know
