Great Divide Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[D]We still listen to high school football
On the radi[A]o in West T[Bm]exas
Lights to shine bright every [A]Friday night
And you can drive [D]ninety miles an hour
Down the [A]highway straight to [D]' Cisco
[Bm]The cops are at the ball game,
[A]they're getting tight

[Verse 2]
And [G]the sky gets wider and wider
[D]It disappear like the day[G]
Into the great [A]divide you fade away

[Verse 3]
[D]An d it's another world all together
Right in [A]the middle of God's country
Smells like [Bm]money, smells like shit
Yeah, it smell[A]s like hell

[Verse 4]
But when [D]the cattle's all together
And the pump [A]jacks all are moving
And [Bm]the [cartons] are
in blooming
It smells like [A]nothing else

[Verse 5]
And [G]the sky gets wider and wider
[D]Just like a brand new day[Bm]
[Em]Out in the great divide[A]
you fade away
[D]

[Verse 6]
It's [G]the land [D]of my peo[Em]ple
[A]My dream is come out here to find
[G]a bigger piece of s[Em]ky[D]
It's all the [G]winner[D] s and
all [Em]the losers
Real good [A]people [G]but just like you
and [D]I

[Interlude 1]

[D][A][D][Bm][A]

[Verse 7]
Hey, [D]but nothing's really changed much
As you drive on down at [A]twenty
[Esus4]Mexicans [D]still[Bm] work out in the field
[A]

[Verse 8]
But [D]everybody's dirty
Man they're [A]all a bunch
[D]of [A]gamblers
[Bm]But some got rich
Yeah, but [A]they're gamblers still

[Verse 9]
And [G]the sky gets wider and wider
The [D]day's gonna be your [G]day
[Em]Out in the great divide [A]you fade away[D]

[Verse 10]
[D]
And it's the [A]land [G]of [D]my people[Em]
[A]My dream is come out here to find
[G]a bigger piece o[Em]f sk[D]y
It's all the [G]winner[D] s and
all the [Em]losers
Real [G]good [A]people [G]but just

[Bm]Lights to shine bright every Fri[A]day night
