[Verse 1]
G D
Homemade curtains in the breeze
Em
Green grass stains on both of my knees
G D
My first memory
Em C
Was mama poppin' grease and fryin' chicken
D G D Em
Cryin', cuttin' onions in the kitchen
[Verse 2]
G D
Sunday mornin', my best shirt
Em
Crock-Pot's on for dinner after church
G D
Dad was baptized by Lynchburg
Em C
Mama'd always beg him to come with us
D G D
Cryin', cuttin' onions in the kitchen
[Chorus]
C Em D
Jesus on a cross down the hallway in a picture
C Em D
Devil's in the bottom of a bottle of brown liquor
C Em D
Daddy's on the front porch pourin' one more high or more
C
Than Haggard's pickin'
D G D Em
And mama's cuttin' onions in the kitchen
[Verse 3]
G D
17, summer buzz
Em
I stumbled in, she waited up
G D
Screen door creaked and there she was
Em C
Both our eyes werе red 'cause I'd been sippin'
D G
She said shе'd been cuttin' onions in the kitchen
[Chorus]
C Em D
Jesus on a cross down the hallway in a picture
C Em D
Devil's in the bottom of a bottle of brown liquor
C Em D
Daddy's on the front porch pourin' one more high or more
C
Than Haggard's pickin'
D G
And mama's cuttin' onions in the kitchen
[Interlude]

[Bridge]
Em
Flowers have the dirt
D
Behind white picket fences
C
Mama tried on vinyl
C Am7
Keeps on spinnin', spinnin', spinnin'
[Chorus]
C Em D
Jesus on a cross down the hallway in a picture
C Em D
Devil's in the bottom of a bottle of brown liquor
C Em
Daddy's six feet in the ground, everybody's at the house
D C
Nevermind all the colored dishes
D G D Em
Mama's cuttin' onions in the kitchen
G D Em D G
Mm
