Intro (after fiddle solo): G D Em C
G D C D
[Verse 1]
G D Em C
Six lanes, tail lights, red ants marching into the night
G D C
They disappear to the left and right again
G D Em C
Another supper from a sack, a ninety-nine cent heart attack
G D
I got a pounding head and and aching back
C G Am D
And the camel's buried in a big straw stack
[Chorus]
G D
But I'm gonna live where the green grass grows
C D
Watch my corn pop up in rows
G D C D
Every night be tucked in close to you
G D
Raise our kids where the good Lord's blessed
C D
Point our rocking chairs towards the west
G D C G
Plant our dreams where the peaceful river flows
Am D G
Where the green grass grows
G D Em C
G D C D
[Verse 2]
G D Em C
Well I'm from, a map dot, a stop sign on a blacktop
G D C
I caught the first bus I could hop from there
G D
But all of this glitter is getting dark
Em C
There's concrete growing in the city park
G D
I don't know who my neighbors are
C G Am D
And there's bars on the doors and bars on my heart
[Chorus]
G D
But I'm gonna live where the green grass grows
C D
Watch my corn pop up in rows
G D C D
Every night be tucked in close to you
G D
Raise our kids where the good Lord's blessed
C D
Point our rocking chairs towards the west
G D C G
Plant our dreams where the peaceful river flows
Am D G
Where the green grass grows
[Last Chorus]
G D
But I'm gonna live where the green grass grows
C D
Watch my corn pop up in rows
G D C D
Every night be tucked in close to you
G D
Raise our kids where the good Lord's blessed
C D
Point our rocking chairs towards the west
G D E --A
Plant our dreams where the peaceful river flows
C G Am D G
Ooo, Where the green grass grows
G D Em C
G D C D
