CAPO 1
Intro:
A G D/F#m G x2
Verse 1:
A G
Up and down the roads we go,
D/F#m G
Tearing up the ground we sowed
A G
With corn and beans and greens and oh,
D/F#m G
Yeah, man, it was hot
A G
And I learned not to beg no more
D/F#m G
When we'd drive by that country store
A G
When grandpa would say "what you need it for?
D/F#m G
Ain't got nothin' we ain't got"
Prechorus 1:
F
You couldn't tell that old man nothing
G
He was backwoods to the bone
F
He'd say let me tell you something, boy,
E
If there's something I want
Chorus:
A
I'll grow my own,
G D/F#m G D A
Yeah, all I need is G-O-D to bless the seeds I've sown
G D/F#m
And pray for a little rain
F G
Yeah my daddy was the same,
A G D/F#m G
He showed me as a kid, how to live and let live
D F E
If you think you know what's good for me, you don't
A G D/F#m G (repeat chords)
I'll grow my own
Verse 2:
A G
As long as schools keep washing brains
D/F#m G
On how to ride that gravy train
A G
And teaching kids that there just ain't
D/F#m G
No God up in the sky
A G
As long as they say guns are bad
D/F#m G
And you don't need no mom and dad
A G
Sex is just some fun you have
D/F#m G
And love is all a lie
Prechorus 2:
F
Well I pray for all those kids you raise
G
On my hard workin' dime
F
But unless you change your crazy ways
E
You ain't raisin' mine
Chorus:
A
I'll grow my own,
G D/F#m G D A
Yeah, all I need is G-O-D to bless the seeds I've sown
G D/F#m
And pray for a little rain
F G
Yeah my daddy was the same,
A G D/F#m G
He showed me as a kid, how to live and let live
D F E
If you think you know what's good for them, you don't
A F D/F#m G (repeat chords)
Man, I'll grow my own yes I will
Bridge:
A F
Your lips are movin', Hell I can see 'em
D/F#m G
But Mr. Politician I just don't believe 'em
A F
You want my money, you want my freedom
D/F#m G
You want my rights but I'ma fight like hell to keep 'em.
A G
You want my sweat, you want my blood,
D/F#m F A G D/F#m G
You want my daughters and my son-----
Chorus:
A
But I'll grow my own,
G D/F#m G D A
Yeah, all I need is G-O-D to bless the seeds I've sown
G D/F#m
And pray for a little rain
F G
Yeah, my daddy was the same
A G D/F#m G
He showed me as a kid, how to live and let live
D F G
And if you think you know what's good for us, you don't
F E
Yeah, the best thing you can do is leave us alone
A G D/F#m
And I'll grow my own
G D A G D/F#m G D A
Yeah, I'll grow my own
