Intro-(D-D-Am-D-D-D-C-D)
Verse 1-
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 
Pre-Chorus-
G
Sure like a cool drink of water 
A#
Soft rag to soothe my face 
D                    Am               D
Sure like a woman to talk to in this place 
Chorus-
       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 
Verse 2-
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 
Pre-Chorus-
G
Bottom land hard as a gravestone 
A#
Couldn't cut it with an axe 
D                       Am
Gonna lay me down right here 
D
And that's a fact 
Chorus-
       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)
Verse 3-
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
Pre-Chorus-
G
Heartache down in that city 
A#
Bright light scares me anyway 
D                    Am           D
Sure like a woman to talk in this place 
Chorus-(Repeat 4x until fade-out)
       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
