Chris Knight – Dirt (Guitar)

      C                  F         C
Well, I woulda bought my grandpa's farm

                     G            C
But I couldn't raise quite enough cash

                            F      C
Now they're cuttin' all the timber down

                G       C
Turnin' all the rest to ash

  C                    F     C
A company came in from outta state

                             G    C
To building another stinkin' factory

                            F          C
And them county politicians think they know

             G       C
Just exactly what we need

      F               C
But I sit down by the highway

  G                   C
I hear those big cats growl

F                      C
 Where the quail gonna fly to?

F                    C
 I watch 'em tearin' all to hell

G               C
  Used to be my church

F              C
 Tearin' up my grandpa's land

                              F         C
They're treatin' my grandpa's land like dirt

  C                   F        C
A few more jobs and a lot less trees

                      G          C
Gonna put this county in the rat race

                     F       C
Like that's where we want to be

                       G        C
This used to be such a peaceful place

            C                 F        C
And they'll tell us that they don't pollute

                                    G         C
This shit they dump in the river is perfectly safe

                        F          C
But all the talk in the whole wide world

                            G            C
Could never bring back what they laid to waste

  F               C
I sit down by the highway

  G                   C
I hear those big cats growl

F                      C
 Where the quail gonna fly to?

F                    C
 I watch 'em tearin' all to hell what

G               C
  Used to be my church

F              C
 Tearin' up my grandpa's land

                              F         C
They're treatin' my grandpa's land like dirt

           C           F         C
There's an ancient oak standin' alone

                           G        C
Tryin' to do the work of a thousand trees

                             F           C
Been here since the Cherokee called this home

                                 G     C
But it's standin' in the way of a factory

  F               C
I sit down by the highway

  G                   C
I hear those big cats growl

F                      C
 Where the quail gonna fly to?

F                    C
 I watch 'em tearin' all to hell what

G               C
  Used to be my church

F              C
 Tearin' up my grandpa's land

                              F         C
They're treatin' my grandpa's land like dirt

                              F         C
They're treatin' my grandpa's land like dirt
