God Bless The Grass

Am

[Verse 1]
Am                       Am 
God bless the grass that grows 
   E           Am
through the crack
     E                            
They roll the concrete over it to 
Am      E       Am
try and keep it back
    C             Am       C     
The concrete gets tired of what 
         Am
it has to do
   F             Am              
It breaks and it buckles and the 
C     Dm    E
grass grows through
    Am  E         Am
And God bless the grass

[Verse 2]
Am                       Am     
God bless the truth that fights 
E          Am
toward the sun
Continues after the ad
     E                         Am 
They roll the lies over it and 
        E     Am
think that it is done
   C                 Am       
It moves through the ground and 
  C               Am
reaches for the air
    F       Am          C       
And after a while it is growing 
Dm   E
everywhere
    Am  E         Am
And God bless the grass

[Verse 3]
Am                       Am 
God bless the grass that grows 
   E         Am
through cement
     E                             
It's green and it's tender and it's
 Am E   Am
 easily bent
    C       Am       C            
But after a while it lifts up its 
Am
head
        F        Am           
For the grass is living and the 
  C     Dm E
stone is dead
    Am  E         Am
And God bless the grass

[Verse 4]
Am                         Am     
God bless the grass that's gentle 
E   Am
and low
    E                           Am
Its roots they are deep and its 
   E     Am
will is to grow
    C             Am         C   
And God bless the truth, the 
          Am
friend of the poor
        F          Am             
And the wild grass growing at the 
C    Dm    E
poor man's door
    Am  E         Am
And God bless the grass
