[Intro 1]
[C][G][C][Am][G]
[C][G][C][G][Am]

[Verse 1]
I am a [Am]son o[C]f dirt,
[G]a s[C]on of dirt
And I'm not [G]ashamed[Am][C][G][Am]
But I've come to terms with who I [C]am
I'm a son of dirt and I'm not [Am]ashamed
Day [C]sets in on me, night time I rise
With sluggy,
sluggy limbs and hollow eyes
[Am]Black sky, cry tears of rain
But I know who I am and I'm
not [C]ashamed[G][C][Am]
Well, [Dsus4]I've been to t[Am]he s[C]tation,
I've been on a train
And I've sung in the squares and
I've slipped in the rain
I've [Am]been to the fair and
I ran across town
With the ghost wind blowing, no one around
I [C]sat in great palaces counting out gold
I died in [D]the [C]mines looking for coal
I [Am]sailed on sea, sea, crucial and slain
Speak of old pictures,
they're flooding my brain
I had me [C]old in churches and I rode in a crown
I dined with devils and I know who I [Am]am
Son of dirt and I'm not [C]ashamed
And if something pure should call my [Am]name
I was damned [C]and flung out of heaven
Stripped of my natural tongue
[Am]Schooled in the spirit of compromise
Corrupted when I was young
But I've scorned all [C]my terrors
and laughed at my fears
Cast off the curse of my careless years
[Am]Afraid of nothing, I'm scared of no man
I did not weep and I do know who I [C]am
And I'm not [Am]ashamed
I have heard of big music and
I'll never be the [C]same
Chorus is a while but one [Am]swerve's hey,
yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, [C]yeah[Am]
There's a [C]place where I come from,
there is a land
Inside of the [Am]land there's [Dm]a tow[Am]n
Inside [C]of the town there is a house
And inside of the house is a [Am]man
In[C]side of a man, there is a soul
Inside of a soul, there is a [Am]dream
In[C]side of a dream, there is a picture
Inside of a picture, there is [Am]a place
And [C]inside of this place, there is a land
And inside of the land, [Am]there's a town
And inside [C]of this town, there is a house
Inside of that house is a [Am]man
In[C]side of a man, there [C]is a soul
[C]In [C]side of a soul, there is a [Am]spark
Where does the spark come [C]from?[C][Am]
[Am][Am][G][C][Bm][C]
[Am]
Where does this spark come
[C]from?[C][Am]
Where does this spark
[Am]come [C]from?[Am]
