Holy Ground chords by Sundy Best

Em C G D G

VERSE:

Em                  C
I'm a child of Appalachia

          G               D
Where my feet are in the ground

Em                  C
Buried on the hillside

          G          D
Near a creek by my house

Em                C
Trees dance like gypsies

G                       D
In the shadows of old coal kings

Em                       C
And in the stories of my people

G          D         G
And all the songs I sing

[CHORUS}

D                C                        G
We sing child, tell me what you're looking for

D
It's written in your Bible

C                       G
Or in an old coal company store

D
There's something in the water

C                      Em
When my lost soul was found

                        C
Now it's buried in my bones and blood

D                       Em
Beneath this holy ground

INSTRUMENTAL:
Em C G D
Em C G D G

VERSE:

Em                  C
Well there's wood smoke in my clothes

  G               D
And a fire up on the hill

Em                  C
There's something in the fruit jar

G                       D
You'll always get your fill

Em                      C
You can say a sinner's prayer

G                            D
But it won't come running to you

Em                           C
Yeah, I'll be in church on Sunday

G          D           G
White-knuckled on the pews

CHORUS:

D                C                        G
We sing child, tell me what you're looking for

D
It's written in your Bible

C                       G
Or in an old coal company store

D
There's something in the water

C                       Em
When my lost soul was found

                       C
Now it's buried in my bones and blood

D                      Em C G D
Beneath this holy ground
