Key: G Verse 1: G C G I've got plates for purple gas C G 'Bout the only break I catch C G But I am not the kind of man C G To blame the dealer on a losin' hand C G Have a lone star in my eye C G The darker the sky, the brighter it shines C G Pumpjack checks and bailer twine C G E ton of a grit or maybe it's spite Chorus: Am C And if I weren't a flatland boy, I'd say I'd have a hill Am C E hill that I will die upon if the climb don't get me killed Am C If there were such heights around here for a guy to lay his pride Am G C G Maybe I'd rest before I died if I weren't a flatland boy C G If I weren't a flatland boy
Verse 2: C G I hammer down, hair straight back C G The world blurs past, tell me, how's it that C G My horizon line's static? C G I guess at least it's a sure bet C G Was taught not to throw the first fist C G But if you take a hit, finish that son of a bitch C G In a life havin' the upper hand's a myth C G Your only fightin' chance is too stubborn to quit Chorus: Am C And if I weren't a flatland boy, I'd say I'd have a hill Am C E hill that I will die upon if the climb don't get me killed Am C If there were such heights around here for a guy to lay his pride Am G C G Maybe I'd rest before I died if I weren't a flatland boy C G If I weren't a flatland boy Verse 3: C G Retired rail ties, point nine wire C G Neighbor kid on the fencing pliers C G Fargo that turns over fine C G At forty below if you cuss it right C G E sly thumb of Rye sometimes C G Keep a bottle hid with the Bio-Mycin C G You can dull the edge, you can look ahead Am G But can't get there, it goes on forever Am G Oh, it just goes on forever Am G C G You keep your head down, it goes on forever Outro: C G But I've got plates for purple gas C G I've got plates for purple gas
