Intro:

G C G C

Verse 1:

G                   A
Rode out of this forgotten town
C                D
Had to watch my old horse drown
G              A
Buried by the river
          C              D
Chocolate colored by the mud

Chorus:

Bm             Em
When we young we were judged
       C               G
By the choices that we made
Bm                  Em
And all the time we wasted and
    C          A              D
The love, the love that I betrayed
Well

Verse 2:

G                      A
They built the dam and everything changed
C              D
Little houses huddled on the range
G          A
Fear came rolling in
    C              D
And covered up the sun

Chorus:

Bm             Em
In the land of milk and honey
       C               G
That's where I laid my claim
Bm                 Em
But every day that I lost money
   C          A             D
It brought me closer to the grave

Bridge:

D         C
Where the river don't flow
D         C
Where the grass don't grow

Verse 3:

G              A
Preacher had a cross to bear
C              D
He smelled salvation in the air
G               A
Tempted by the silver and gold
        C               D
Put him six feet in the ground

Chorus:

Bm                Em
I came across her by the road
C                     G
Dressed in her Sunday best
Bm                   Em
She took my hand and led me home
        C          A               D
To the place, the place I can't forget

Bridge:

D         C
Where the river don't flow
D         C
Where the grass don't grow

Verse 4:

G            A
Living in a makeshift tent
C             D
Couldn't find money for the rent
G                     A
Do you believe in the kingdom to come
        C              D
And the promise of the word

Chorus:

Bm             Em
In the land of milk and honey
       C               G
That's where I laid my claim
Bm                 Em
But every day that I lost money
   C          A             D
It brought me closer to the grave

Bridge:

D         C
Where the river don't flow
D         C
Where the grass don't grow
D         C
Where the river don't flow
D         C
Where the grass don't grow
