The Dirt

Em Am Em Am

[Verse]
Em                 Am
My, my, I know the well is dry
Em             Am
Sing me a song one more time
    Em                     Am
The wind is raging and the birds 
won't fly
Em                 Am
Nothing to eat and nowhere to hide

[Interlude]
Em Am Em Am

[Verse]
Em                Am
Momma is gonna be alright

Em                     Am
Tell me the story just one more time
          Em                     
Where the grass is green and the 
Am
water runs wild
         Em                  Am
Where forever is forever and no-one 
has to die

[Chorus]
          Em                   Am
Cause you can't drink the dirt even 
if you wanna
    Em                 Am
you can't eat the dirt even if you 
wanna
    Em                     Am
you can't breathe the dirt even if 
you wanna
           C                      
But you'll be in the dirt, you'll be
D
 the dirt

[Verse]
Em                Am
Momma, I know I'm ready now
    Em                        Am
I'm not afraid, and you don't need 
to cry
     Em                       Am
Just close my eyes and wake up into 
a new life
Em             Am
Momma, there's no need to cry

[Chorus]
          Em                   Am
Cause you can't drink the dirt even 
if you wanna
    Em                 Am
You can't eat the dirt even if you 
wanna
    Em                     Am
You can't breathe the dirt even if 
you wanna
           C                      
But you'll be in the dirt, you'll be
D
 the dirt
