God's Country Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Intro 1]
[D]
[Am][C][D][Am]

[Verse 1]
[Am]Right outside of this one church town
There's a [C]gold dirt road
to a whole lot of nothin'
Got a [D]deed to the land, but it ain't my ground
This is [Am]God's country
[Am]We pray for rain,
and thank Him when it's fallen
'Cause [C]it brings a grain
and a little bit of money
We put [D]it back in the plate
I guess that's why they call it [Am]God's country

[Chorus 1]
[Am]I saw the light in the sunrise
Sittin' [C]back in a 40 on the muddy riverside
Get[D]tin' baptized in holy water and 'shine
With the [Am]dogs runnin'
[Am]Saved by the sound of the been found
Dixie [C]whistled in the wind,
that'll get you Heaven bound
The De[D]vil went down to Georgia
but he didn't stick around
This is [Am]God's country

[Verse 2]
[Am]We turned the dirt
and worked until the week's done
[C]We take a break and break bread on Sunday
And then [D]do it all again
'Cause we're proud to be from
[Am]God's country (yeah, yeah)

[Chorus 2]
[Am]I saw the light in the sunrise
Sittin' [C]back in a 40 on the muddy riverside
Get[D]tin' baptized in holy water and 'shine
With the [Am]dogs runnin'
[Am]Saved by the sound of the been found
Dixie [C]whistled in the wind,
that'll get you Heaven bound
The De[D]vil went down to Georgia
but he didn't stick around
This is [Am]God's country

[Interlude 1]
(This is [Am]God's country)
[C](This is God[D]'s country)
[Am]God's country

[Verse 3]
[Am]I don't care what my headstone reads
Or [C]what kind of pinewood box I end up in
[D]When it's my time, lay me six feet deep
In [Am]God's country (yeah, yeah)

[Chorus 3]
[Am]I saw the light in the sunrise
Sittin' [C]back in a 40 on the muddy riverside
Get[D]tin' baptized in holy water and 'shine
With the [Am]dogs runnin'
[Am]Saved by the sound of the been found
Dixie [C]whistled in the wind,
that'll get you Heaven bound
The De[D]vil went down to Georgia
but he didn't stick around
This is [Am]God's country
(God's country)
Yeah, [Am]I saw the light in the sunrise
Sittin' [C]back in a 40 on the muddy riverside
Get[D]tin' baptized in holy water and 'shine
With the [Am]dogs runnin'
[Am]Saved by the sound of the been found
Dixie [C]whistled in the wind,
that'll get you Heaven bound
The De[D]vil went down to Georgia
but he didn't stick around
This is [Am]God's country
[Am]
