Promised Land

[Verse]
 C                  F             
Been walking for days in the 
    C      C                F    
hellish heat, looking for some 
                C
place where we can rest our feet
 G             F                   
Then a petty stranger saying take 
Am   G   C                  G  
my hand, I'm gonna lead you up 
                 C
to the promised land
C                  F             
He held the pedal down kickin up 
    C      C                F    
that dust, before I knew it there
                C

G             F                   
He said and just keep quiet and 
Am   G   C                  G  
give em all you can, you gotta 
                 C
pay your way to the promised land
C                  F             
We made it to a fence where dogs 
    C      C                F    
were tied, I wasn't in no hurry 
                C
to turn loose my pride
G             F                   
He said they're all for show, you 
Am   G   C                  G  
know a part of the plan, dogs 
                 C
rarely bite in the promised land
C                  F             
Well after tearing my shirt from 
    C      C                F    
those hungry hounds, I climbed a 
                C
junkyard heap where I could see a 
town
G             F                   
A haven in the sun shinning bright
Am   G   C                  G  
 and grand, was time to find my
                 C
 place in the promised land
C                  F        
Well in the street they had 12 
         C      C          
hundred signs, 2400 feet all 
      F                    C
marching in time
G             F                   
Singing out some song about a 
Am   G   C                  G  
native stand, trying to cast me
                 C
 out of the promised land
C                  F             
well i aint felt too good since i
    C      C                F    
 landed here, everyone I might is
                C
 full of rage and fear
G             F              
THe more I look around I'm just 
     Am   G   C                  
another man, leaning on one limb 
G                   C
in the promised land
