[D]Lord take away these cha[A]ins from me[D][D]

[Verse 1]
[D]Some birds' feathers
are too [G]bright to be caged
I know [D]I'm not that colorful

[Verse 2]
[D]Sun beatin' down,
my legs [G]can't seem to stand
There's a [D]boss man at a turnrow
with a [A]rifle in his hand
[D]I've got nine children, not[G]hin' in the pan
My [D]wife, she died hungry
while I [A]was plowin' [D]land

[Chorus 3]
[D]Take 'em awa[G]y, take 'em away, Lord

[Verse 3]
[D]Can't see when I go to work,
can't [G]see when I get off
[D]How do you expect a man not[A] to get lost?

If there's [D]a happy day, Lord,
I [A]haven't seen one [D]yet

[D]Land that I love is the lan[G]d that I'm workin'
But it's [D]hard to love it all the time
when your [A]back is a-hurtin'
[D]Gettin' too old now to pus[G]h this here plow
[D]Please let me lay down
so I [A]can look at the [D]clouds

[Chorus 5]

[D]Land that I know is where two riv[G]ers collide
The [D]Brazos, the Navaso and the [A]big blue sky
[D]Flood plains, freight trains,
[G]watermelon vines
Of any [D]place on God's green earth,
this is where [A]I choose to d[D]ie

[Chorus 6]
[D]Take 'em awa[G]y, take 'em away, Lord
[D]Take away these cha[A]ins from me

'cause [G]my spirit's not free
