NOTE: In the VERSES T implied what he is playing by using chords Bm A D G.
      What is really done is what I call a `walk up` from the Bm to the G
      chord. It is played on the A string and goes from the 2nd fret to the
      4th and then 5th fret and then to the G chord. You can choose which
      way you want to play this. I do it bothways depending on what mood I
      am in. Please keep this in mind when playing and rating this tab.

CAPO: 4th FRET

INTRO:
NONE

VERSE:
          Bm          A           D        G
I can`t remember the last time I saw you smile
      Bm              A               D        G
Just faces made with pictures from across the aisle
       Bm           A          D       G
I was born on this team I was born to win
           Bm           A             D          G
Lord have mercy on the others and forgive their sins


CHORUS:
   A                G          D    G
I know that I`m supposed to be angry
         A                  Bm              G
For the life of me I can`t figure out what for
          A             Bm          D      G
If I can lie down with someone who loves me
            G           A                 Bm A D G   Bm A D G
Instead of dying in my great-granddaddy`s waaaaaaar


VERSE:
         Bm        A              D     G
We were born here crying with our egos bruised
   Bm            A              D         G
Below the Mason Dixon with the red state blues
                    Bm     A              D        G
We`ve got a lot of heroes here screaming southern pride
       Bm            A             D      G
But a hero`s just a villain to the other side


VERSE:
           Bm               A         D       G
There`s a hundred years of bitterness in our blood
        Bm                A            D         G
And it flows with the conviction of a forty-day flood
            Bm          A              D          G
Until we`re out of ammunition and the rivers run red
           Bm     A                D     G
Over what Jesus meant but what he never said


CHORUS:
   A                Bm         D    G
I know that I`m supposed to be angry
         A                  Bm              G
For the life of me I can`t figure out what for
          A             Bm          D      G
If I can lie down with someone who loves me
            G           A                 Bm A D G
Instead of dying in my great-granddaddy`s waaaaaaar

Bm A D G

BREAK:
    A                 Bm
Oh pass me down that passion
          D       G
In those blue eyes
 A                   Bm                G
Give me that strong back and thinning hair

      A                   Bm
I`ll take those callused hands
            D            G
And I will use them for good
     A               Bm            G
But let me choose my own cross to bear

                Em
`Cause they`re heavier down here
    D            G
I swear they`re heavier down here


CHORUS:
   A                Bm          D   G
I know that I`m supposed to be angry
         A                  Bm              G
For the life of me I can`t figure out what for
      A                Bm           D      G
I believe that I`d be fortunate to die here

         G            A                Bm   D
I ain`t dying in my great-grandaddy`s war-a-ar
               G          A                Bm    D
I don`t wanna die in my great-granddaddy`s war-a-ar
         G            A                Bm A D G
I ain`t dying in my great-granddaddy`s war

Bm A D G
