C G C G C G D G C G C G C G D G [Verse 1] G Well I'm livin' with the mistakes I've made, C D plenty more where I'm from G I'm robbin' peter so Paul gets paid, C D plenty more where I'm from [Chorus] C G I've strayed so far from the open road, C D I've been places my shadow refused to go. [Verse 2] G I went to school but they called me slow, C D plenty more where I'm from G They couldn't teach me what I needed to know, C D plenty more where I'm from [Chorus] C G My heart still breaks & my throat it swells, C G Like a dirty lump o' coal at the New Year bell's. [Bridge] Am C G A song of hope to lift my spirits if you please, Am C G Or a tale of old rebellion if you dare, Am C G I hope I live to see the day I laugh at days like these, Am D And walk the walk of one without a care. C G C G C G D G C G C G C G D G [Verse 3] G I'll shift my share but I won't shift the blame, C D plenty more where I'm from G I respect my neighbour and expect the same, C D plenty more where I'm from [Chorus] C G I've strayed so far from the open road, C D I've been places my shadow refused to go. [Verse 4] G I don't trust what I can't see, C D plenty more where I'm from G But I believe in something higher than me, C D plenty more where I'm from [Chorus] C G My heart still breaks & my throat it swells, C D Like a dirty lump o' coal at the New Year bell's.
