Intro (after fiddle solo): GDEmCGDCDGDEmC
Six lanes, tail lights, red ants marching into the night
GDC
They disappear to the left and right again
GDEmC
Another supper from a sack, a ninety-nine cent heart attack
GD
I got a pounding head and and aching back
CGAmD
And the camel's buried in a big straw stack
Chorus:
GD
But I'm gonna live where the green grass grows
CD
Watch my corn pop up in rows
GDCD
Every night be tucked in close to you
GD
Raise our kids where the good Lord's blessed
CD
Point our rocking chairs towards the west
GDCG
Plant our dreams where the peaceful river flows
AmDG
Where the green grass grows
(repeat Intro chords)
GDEmC
Well I'm from, a map dot, a stop sign on a blacktop
GDC
I caught the first bus I could hop from there
GD
But all of this glitter is getting dark
EmC
There's concrete growing in the city park
GD
I don't know who my neighbors are
CGAmD
And there's bars on the doors and bars on my heart
Chorus (x2)
