Chords with lyrics

Tuning: Standard (E MajorE A augmentedA D MajorD G+G BB E MajorE)

Chorus A:
    D MajorD   G+G     D MajorD
If they blow a hole in my backyard
D MajorD      G+G     D MajorD     G+G
Everyone is gonna run away
  D MajorD      G+G      D MajorD     G+G
The creeks won't flow to the Great Lake below
     D MajorD      G+G       D MajorD
Will the water in the wells still be ok?

Chorus B:

    D MajorD   G+G      D MajorD     G+G
If they blow a hole in the backbone
       D MajorD       G+G       D MajorD     G+G
The one that runs cross the muscles of the land
    D MajorD      G+G    D MajorD       G+G
Well we might get a load of stone for the road
   D MajorD          G+G       D MajorD
But I don't know how much longer we can stand

Verse 1:

G+G              A augmentedA
We'll need to build some new apartments
   G+G                A augmentedA
And I know we're gonna have to fix the roads
     G+G         A augmentedA
But if we blow a hole in the escarpment
  G+G                A augmentedA
The wild ones won't have anywhere to go

Interlude:

D MajorD - G+G - D MajorD - G+G (x2)

Chorus A:

    D MajorD   G+G     D MajorD
If they blow a hole in my backyard
D MajorD      G+G     D MajorD     G+G
Everyone is gonna run away
  D MajorD      G+G      D MajorD     G+G
The creeks won't flow to the Great Lake below
     D MajorD      G+G       D MajorD
Will the water in the wells still be ok?

Verse 2:

G+G             A augmentedA
We'll keep driving on the Blind Line
   G+G              A augmentedA
If we don't know where we want to go
   G+G              A augmentedA
Even knowledge that's sound can get watered down
  G+G                  A augmentedA
The truth can get sucked out the car window (x2)

Bridge:
   G+G           A augmentedA
We're two-thirds water; What do we really need?
  G+G        A augmentedA
But sun, showers, soil and seed
   G+G           A augmentedA
We're two-thirds water; The aquifers provide
   G+G              A augmentedA
Deep down in the rock; There's a pearl inside

Interlude:

D MajorD - G+G - D MajorD - G+G (x2)

Chorus B:

    D MajorD   G+G
If they blow a hole in the backbone
       D MajorD       G+G       D MajorD    G+G
The one that runs cross the muscles of the land
    D MajorD      G+G    D MajorD       G+G
Well we might get a load of stone for the road
   D MajorD          G+G       D MajorD
But I don't know how much longer we can stand
    D MajorD      G+G    D MajorD       G+G
Well we might get a load of stone for the road
   D MajorD          G+G       D MajorD
But I don't know how much longer we can stand
