Chords with lyrics

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

Intro:
G+G C majorC D MajorD G+G

Verse:
G+G                 C majorC
my high beams cut the night like a knife into the flame
D MajorD           G+G
tempered by the fire, weathered by the rain

and I been beat down and smothered
    C majorC
so much love I can barely stand
   D MajorD                G+G
while Lula's swayin' her hips from the dash in high demand
         C majorC      G+G
but there ain't enough for everybody askin'
       D MajorD     G+G
there's just enough to keep it close to home

Chorus:
      C majorC   G+G
We all got heavy hearts for the liftin'
     D MajorD    G+G
We take turns to hold each other high
       C majorC
and I climbed so tall
G+G                   D MajorD
slept on every branch and I'll never fall
     C majorC (Hammer on D MajorD string;walk down to G+G)
from the arms of my family tree


Verse:
G+G
Estill County native
    C majorC
I'm a stranger to the fane
D MajorD
pragmatic in delivery
  G+G
but fall short all the same

some might say I've got it all
C majorC
others might say I'm bound to fall
    D MajorD                 G+G
to the depths of hell though all I know is love

when you're living in captivity
C majorC
overexposed by liberty
   D MajorD               G+G
you frequently forget we're all the same

Chorus:
      C majorC   G+G
We all got heavy hearts for the liftin'
     D MajorD    G+G
We take turns to hold each other high
       C majorC
and I climbed so tall
G+G                   D MajorD
slept on every branch and I'll never fall
     C majorC (Hammer on D MajorD String; walk down to G+G)
from the arms of my family tree

A minorAm       C majorC
shoot not your starlings
G+G       D MajorD
spear not your thieves
A minorAm      C majorC
fruit for the plenty
G+G        D MajorD
ask and you shall receive

G+G
rubber hits the pavement
    C majorC
Like a broom onto the rug
D MajorD              G+G
beating out the dirty, bad memories, sex, and drugs
                C majorC
I can drive the pain away one mile at a time
  D MajorD
the closer that I get to home
  G+G
my thoughts they come divine


Chorus:
      C majorC   G+G
We all got heavy hearts for the liftin'
     D MajorD    G+G
We take turns to hold each other high
       C majorC
and I climbed so tall
G+G                   D MajorD
slept on every branch and I'll never fall
     C majorC (Hammer on D MajorD String;walk down to G+G)
from the arms of my family tree
