[Verse 1]
[G]Mama's
in the [C]kitchen,
she's [G]looking for food
[C]Bob[G]by's on the roo[C]ftop
with [G]nothing to [C]do
And [G]I'm on the [C]front porch,
spit[G]tin' and I [C]can't see
[G]Once this [C]was the [D]promised [G]land
[C]Once this [G]was the [D]promised land
[G]I've got an old[C] -time nic[G]kel
that I [D]hold in my [G]hand
[C]Just to re[G]mind me when
[D]times were [G]grand
[C]Once this [G]was the [D]promised
[G]land

[Verse 2]
[G][C]
[G]The dog's in [C]the front yard,
he's [G]looking mighty [C]good
[G]I wouldn't n[C]eed him,
but my [G]daddy [C]would
Sis[G]ter's in the back[C]yard,
she's [G]playing in [C]the sand
[G]Once this was [C]the [G]promised [D]land
[G]Onc[C]e this was[G] the pro[D]mised land
[G]I got an old[C] -time nic[G]kel
that I [D]hold in my hand
[G]Jus[C]t to remin[G]d me
when [D]time went grand
[G]Onc[C]e this was[G] the
[D]promised [G]land[C][G]
[C]Now we [G]used to eat fried [C]chicken
[G]Now we're eating [C]shoes
[G]Once we went [C]to movies
and we [G]listened to the [C]news
Once [G]we played ten[C]nis
and had [G]weekend [C]plans
[G]Yes, once this [C]was the [Dm]promised [G]land
[C]Once this [G]was the [D]promised land
[G]I've got an old[C] -time nic[G]kel
that I [D]hold in my [G]hand
[C]Just to re[G]mind me when

[G]Once [C]this was[G] the pro[D]mised land
[G]Onc[C]e this was[G][D]
