Intro
D
[Verse 1]
G D
When I was a young boy, my papaw played me songs
G D Em
He’d sing that Pretty Polly, and I’d listen all night long
D G D Em
Those sounds went straight into my soul, sitting on his cabin floor
D G D
But I ain’t playing Pretty Polly anymore
[Verse 2]
G D
When Granny was a young girl, she had to hold her own
G D Em
She told my little sister, don’t get with a man alone
D G D Em
Down in the Willow Garden, wasn’t some old metaphor
D G D
So I ain’t playing Willow Garden anymore
[Chorus]
G A D G
I ain’t playing Pretty Polly or Rosalie McFall
A D G
I ain’t playing Knoxville Girl, no, none of them at all
A D G
No more tales of women killed by drunken violent men
A D G
They don’t deserve their stories told, I won’t raise my voice again
D G D
I ain’t playing Pretty Polly anymore
[Verse 3]
G D
Cause I know some stories, men like my Uncle Clyde
G D Em
He spent seven decades at my Aunt Myrtle’s side
D G D Em
Kentucky teens who fell in love in 1934
D G D Em
They had to leave the mountains to find work in Baltimore
D G D Em
She tended their young family while he fought for them in the war
D G D Em
And she still holds his picture and looks for him at the door
D G D Em
Though she just turned 100 and he passed 12 years before
D G D
So I ain’t playing Pretty Polly anymore
[Chorus]
G A D G
I ain’t playing Pretty Polly or Rosalie McFall
A D G
I ain’t playing Knoxville Girl, no, none of them at all
A D G
No more tales of women killed by drunken violent men
A D G
They don’t deserve their stories told, I won’t raise my voice again
D G D
And I ain’t playing Pretty Polly anymore
[Outro]
D G D
I ain’t playing Pretty Polly anymore
D G D
I ain’t playing Pretty Polly anymore
