Verse 1:
A minorAm            A minorAm  E MajorE      A minorAm
God bless the grass that grows through the crack
   E MajorE              A minorAm   E MajorE    A minorAm
They roll the concrete over it to try and keep it back
  C majorC       A minorAm    C majorC       A minorAm
The concrete gets tired of what it has to do

It breaks and it buckles and the grass grows through
  A minorAm E MajorE     A minorAm
And God bless the grass

God bless the truth that fights toward the sun
   E MajorE             A minorAm     E MajorE   A minorAm
They roll the lies over it and think that it is done
  C majorC         A minorAm     C majorC        A minorAm
It moves through the ground and reaches for the air
  FF    A minorAm     C majorC    DmDm  E MajorE
And after a while it is growing everywhere
  A minorAm E MajorE     A minorAm
And God bless the grass

God bless the grass that grows through cement
   E MajorE               A minorAm E MajorE  A minorAm
It's green and it's tender and it's easily bent
  C majorC    A minorAm    C majorC      A minorAm
But after a while it lifts up its head
    FF    A minorAm       C majorC   DmDm E MajorE
For the grass is living and the stone is dead
  A minorAm E MajorE     A minorAm
And God bless the grass

Its roots they are deep and its will is to grow
  C majorC       A minorAm     C majorC       A minorAm
And God bless the truth, the friend of the poor
    FF     A minorAm       C majorC  DmDm  E MajorE
And the wild grass growing at the poor man's door
  A minorAm E MajorE     A minorAm
And God bless the grass
