Heartland

F
There's a home place under fire 
tonight in the Heartland
         C                     G7 
And the bankers are taking my home
                   C
 and my land from me
There's a big gapping hole in my 
       C7            F
chest now, where my heart was
                     G7            
  And a hole in the sky, where God 
         C
used to be

           C                   
There's a home place under fire 
    C7           F
tonight in the Heartland
           C                       
There's a well where the water's so
  G7                   C
 bitter nobody can't drink
And no way to get high and my mouth 
       C7         F
is so dry that I can't talk
            C                   
Oh, they  know that 'm dying why 
  G7                C
nobody crying for me

Continues after the ad
              G                    
My American dream, fell apart at 
   C
the seams
                     G             
You tell me what it means, you tell
             C
 me what it means

There's a young boy closing his

eyes tonight in a Heartland
          C                     
who will wake up a man with some

land and a loan he can't pay
