Dirt

C


[Verse 1]
      C                  F         
Well, I woulda bought my grandpa's 
C
farm
                     G            
But I couldn't raise quite enough 
C
cash
                            F      
Now they're cuttin' all the timber 
C
down
                G       C
Turnin' all the rest to ash


[Verse 2]
  C                    F     C
A company came in from outta state
                             G    C
To building another stinkin' factory
                            F    
And them county politicians think 
      C
they know
             G       C
Just exactly what we need


[Chorus]
      F               C
But I sit down by the highway
  G                   C
I hear those big cats growl
F                      C
 Where the quail gonna fly to?

Where will the rabbits run now?
F                    C
 I watch 'em tearin' all to hell
G               C
  Used to be my church
F              C
 Tearin' up my grandpa's land
                              F    
They're treatin' my grandpa's land 
     C
like dirt

[Verse 3]
  C                   F        C
A few more jobs and a lot less trees
                      G         
Gonna put this county in the rat 
 C
race
                     F       C
Like that's where we want to be
                       G       
This used to be such a peaceful 
 C
place


[Verse 4]
            C                 F   
And they'll tell us that they 
     C
don't pollute
This shit they dump in the river is 
G         C
perfectly safe
                        F          
But all the talk in the whole wide 
C
world
                            G   
Could never bring back what they 
         C
laid to waste


[Chorus]
  F               C
I sit down by the highway
  G                   C
I hear those big cats growl
F                      C
 Where the quail gonna fly to?

Where will the rabbits run now?
F                    C
 I watch 'em tearin' all to hell 
what
G               C
  Used to be my church
F              C
 Tearin' up my grandpa's land
                              F    
They're treatin' my grandpa's land 
     C
like dirt

[Verse 5]
           C           F      
There's an ancient oak standin' 
   C
alone
                           G       
Tryin' to do the work of a thousand
 C
 trees
                             F     
Been here since the Cherokee called
      C
 this home
But it's standin' in the way of a 
G     C
factory


[Chorus]
  F               C
I sit down by the highway
  G                   C
I hear those big cats growl
F                      C
 Where the quail gonna fly to?

Where will the rabbits run now?
F                    C
 I watch 'em tearin' all to hell 
what
G               C
  Used to be my church
F              C
 Tearin' up my grandpa's land
                              F    
They're treatin' my grandpa's land 
     C
like dirt
                              F    
They're treatin' my grandpa's land 
     C
