Heart of America Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Intro 1]
[G][D][G]

[Verse 1]
My [G]sweet mother gets up
so [C]early in [G]the morning
She turns on the stove and she
makes [D]a pot of coffee
My [G]daddy fills his tractor up with
diesel to plant the [C]corn
And that's [G]how it was on
the [D]day that I was [G]born

[Verse 2]
[G]
Well the days they went by and
[C]the bins filled up with [G]grain
My mother's brother died on
a mo[D]torcycle in the rain
The [G]town it got to big for it's britches
and the government it [C]came
And [G]now it will [D]never be the same
[G]

[Verse 3]
[D]No one moves away with no money,
they just do what they can
To [Em]live in the heart of [G]America getting
by on their own two [D]hands
And you can pray to anybody's
Jesus and be a hard workin man
But at [C]the end of the day,
if the rain it don't rain,
We just [D]do what we [G]can

[Interlude 1]
[G][C][G][D]
[G]

[Verse 4]
[G]Sometime back in '86 when [C]big
banks took [G]the throne
They asked that every local farmer
[D]try to dry his own corn
But [G]the man in the suit had a bigger
plan than to let it be their [C]own
When [G]the crops came in that
[D]spring they were blown
[G]

[Verse 5]
And Neil and Willie tried so hard
in [C]battles they have [G]gone
But that was still longer after the
much big[D]ger war had been won
[G]No one was there to save the wheat
and the cattle at our [C]home
They [G]took [D]every field my family [G]owned

[Verse 6]
[D]No one moves away with no money,
they just do what they can
To [Em]live in the heart of [G]America getting
by on their own two [D]hands
And you can pray to anybody's
Jesus and be a hard workin man
But at [C]the end of the day,
if the rain it don't rain,
We just [D]do [G]what [C]we [D]can[G]
