[Verse 1]
C                                  F
I can feel the grass bend under my feet
C                                      F
I can taste the air and I swear it was sweet
C                                       F
Gonna feel it blowing in the back of my mind
C                                        G
Forty-five take me back to Walker County line


[Pre-Chorus]
G  F                C
Whoa, I should have known 
G  F                C 
Whoa, I should have known 


[Chorus]
                 F     C
Cause I've got a heavy heart
F     C
Heavy mind 
F      C                 G
Sing a song for all I've gone and left behind

                 F     C
Cause I've got a heavy heart
F     C
Heavy mind 
F      C                 G
Sing a song for all I've gone and left behind 
                 C  F
It's weighing on me 
                 C  F
It's weighing on me 


[Verse 2]
C                                    F
Want to get down feel the dirt in my hands
C                                           F
Bone handle being worn out from working the land
C                                             F
I hear the crack from the fire and I know I'm alive
C                                       G
Flat on my back looking up at a pinhole sky


[Pre-Chorus]
G  F                C
Whoa, I should have known 
G  F                C 
Whoa, I should have known


[Chorus]
                 F     C
Cause I've got a heavy heart
F     C
Heavy mind 
F      C                 G
Sing a song for all I've gone and left behind

                 F     C
Cause I've got a heavy heart
F     C
Heavy mind 
F      C                 G
Sing a song for all I've gone and left behind
                 C  F
It's weighing on me 
                 C  F
It's weighing on me 


[Interlude]

                 F     C
Cause I've got a heavy heart

Heavy mind 
F      C                 G
Sing a song for all I've gone and left behind

Cause I've got a heavy heart
F     C
Heavy mind
