Where The Green Grass Grows

Intro: G D  G D  G D  G D  G D C D7  G D C D7

G          D           Em                  C
Six lanes, taillights, red ants marching into the night
G                       D              C            D
They disappeared to the left and right again
G              D              Em               C
Another supper from a sack, a ninety-nine cent heart attack
G                             D
I got a pounding head and and aching back
        C                    D7
And the camel's buryied in a big straw stack


    G                        D
But I'm gonna live where the green grass grows
C                 D
Watch my corn pop up in rows
G              D                  C         D
Every night be tucked in close to you
G                        D
Raise our kids where the good Lord's blessed
C                        D
Point our rocking chairs t'wards the west
G                          D              C
Plant our dreams where the peaceful river flows
Am            D7          G
Oh, where the green grass grows


G                 D          Em             C
Where I'm from, a map dot, a stop sign on a blacktop
G                      D                C            D
I caught the first bus I could hop from there
G                          D
But all of this glitter is getting dark
Em                              C
There's concrete growing in the city park
G                   D
I don't know who my neighbors are
            C                   D7
And there's bars on my door and bars on my heart
