They roll the concrete over it to try and keep it back
    C             Am       C              Am
The concrete gets tired of what it has to do

It breaks and it buckles and the grass grows through

Am                       Am     E          Am
God bless the truth that fights toward the sun
     E                         Am         E     Am
They roll the lies over it and think that it is done
   C                 Am         C               Am
It moves through the ground and reaches for the air
    F       Am          C       Dm   E
And after a while it is growing everywhere
    Am  E         Am
And God bless the grass

Verse 3:
Am                       Am    E         Am
God bless the grass that grows through cement
     E                              Am E   Am
It's green and it's tender and it's easily bent
    C       Am       C            Am
But after a while it lifts up its head
        F        Am             C     Dm E
For the grass is living and the stone is dead
    Am  E         Am
And God bless the grass

Verse 4:
Am                         Am     E   Am
God bless the grass that's gentle and low
    E                           Am   E     Am
Its roots they are deep and its will is to grow
    C             Am         C             Am
And God bless the truth, the friend of the poor
        F          Am             C    Dm    E
And the wild grass growing at the poor man's door
    Am  E         Am
And God bless the grass
