A minorAm                   DmDm
 Every song I sing, cuts a little bit more,
 you could never connect the copper cast with the mold.
E minorEm            DmDm
 You could never guess, you could never guess,
       A minorAm
 you could never guess where I come from... No!

A minorAm                    DmDm
 Every mile I drive, further down this road,
 tears a little more off of my bones,
E minorEm              DmDm
 and you could never guess, you could never guess,
       A minorAm
 you could never guess where I come from... No!

A minorAm
 The first thing they was taught was how to load and lock.
Dm*
 Take that aim and shot, embrace the pain of shoulder blade taking stock.
DmDm                        E minorEm
 Watch a drop, pull the bolt back, load another up till the clip goes "pop".
            (NC)
 Till you sweep your block, and you can hear your pin drop
 In a place that's more comfortable with "POP! POP! POP! POP!".

A minorAm                              Dm*
 The first thing they learned was how to plant that carbine in the earth,
                           DmDm
 prop that helmet on the stock, hang them dog tags from the lock.
            E minorEm                 A minorAm
 Say your prayers and mark the spot, where the body's interred,
 then turn, taciturn, and talk that walk. Taste that salt!

A minorAm
 Sprinkle a little bit of lye in the earth.
 Don't cry when it hurts cause you ain't done yet son.
Dm*
 Spill a little bit of more blood,
 everybody knows what comes from the warm wet [bed bud?]
DmDm
 Better believe, when you fall to your knees
     E minorEm
 you'll cry, you're gonna pray for peace,
         A minorAm
 and plant them seeds of the winter wheat and the Georgia peach
 watered up with your red rum.

A minorAm                   DmDm
 Every song I sing, cuts a little bit more,
 you could never connect the copper cast with the mold.
E minorEm            DmDm
 You could never guess, you could never guess,
       A minorAm
 you could never guess where I come from... No!

A minorAm                    DmDm
 Every mile I drive, further down this road,
 tears a little more off of my bones,
E minorEm              DmDm
 and you could never guess, you could never guess,
       A minorAm
 you could never guess where I come from... No!

   A minorAm
 I know he would've loved this, but he had to die to give it.
  Dm*
 I melted down his musket, turned it to a tool.
 DmDm           E minorEm
 Tilling like a fool, to see where his blood went,
A minorAm
 See if I can grow something beautiful above it.
A minorAm
 Standing guard above my garden till the seeds take root,
Dm*
 Taking shade under the trees with the sweet grapefruit.
DmDm                E minorEm             A minorAm
 I'll take my yield and his old boots till the leaves shake loose,
 I will die in these fields, but my seeds will move.
A minorAm
 The ox and yoke know every note I hum,
Dm*
 written in the grass by the midday sun.
DmDm           E minorEm               A minorAm
 The lamp lit ahead of me, with the earth between my feet,
 I'll sing a song into the breeze, let it fold the wheat.

A minorAm                   DmDm
 Every song I sing, cuts a little bit more,
 you could never connect the copper cast with the mold.
E minorEm            DmDm
 You could never guess, you could never guess,
       A minorAm
 you could never guess where I come from... No!

A minorAm                    DmDm
 Every mile I drive, further down this road,
 tears a little more off of my bones,
E minorEm              DmDm
 and you could never guess, you could never guess,
       A minorAm
 you could never guess where I come from... No!

A minorAm                   DmDm
 Every song I sing, cuts a little bit more,
 you could never connect the copper cast with the mold.
E minorEm            DmDm
 You could never guess, you could never guess,
       A minorAm
 you could never guess where I come from... No!

A minorAm                    DmDm
 Every mile I drive, further down this road,
 tears a little more off of my bones,
E minorEm              DmDm
 and you could never guess, you could never guess,
       A minorAm
 you could never guess where I come from... No!

End on ringing Am.
