intro ( after fiddle solo ) : G D Em C
G D C D

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

( repeat intro chords )

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

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
