?Verse 1:
D MajorD
I come from the heart of the Heartland

In rows and rows of summer greens

And it goes on
D MajorD
Through the crack of the bat

And our hands on our hearts under the stars of the Friday night flag

Chorus:
  A augmentedA    G+G     D MajorD
And oh the heart will wander

Buses rollin' on in the silver dawn

Seein' the world a long, long way from home

When I get lost in the noise like a whisper I hear the voice of the boy
