Garth Brooks – Where The Cross Dont Burn (Guitar)

D               A
  We were white   and they were black

        Bm                 A            G
And our lives, they were divided by the railroad tracks

         D                             A
But we'd meet up every mornin' at that riverbend

               Bm            A             G
That's where I learned about Jesus from my only black friend

        Em                                 A
And sometimes we'd sit and stare up at the sky

            Em                            A
And I could see the hope of heaven in his eyes

G
  In the land where the cotton grows

F#m              A
  In a time when change came slow

G             F#m    Em            C     A
  Just beyond    the point of no return

G
  A white boy and a black old man

F#m                     A
  On the tracks walking hand in hand

G                   F#m Em             C      G
  It's where I come to  understand and learn

A
  Where the cross don't burn

              D                             A
He'd Tell me  money doens't matter, nor the color of your skin

        Bm            A              G
You can stumble, even fall and still   get up again

          D                              A
'Cause it ain't about the deeds, good or bad that we have done

        Bm           A          G                      F#m
All we have to do is love to be disciples of the Son

         Em                                A
And we'd   join hands and bow our heads to   pray

       Em                             A
And he told me that he loved me every   day

G
  In the land where the cotton grows

F#m              A
  In a time when change came slow

G             F#m    Em            C     A
  Just beyond    the point of no return

G
  A white boy and a black old man

F#m                     A
  On the tracks walking hand in hand

G                   F#m Em             C      G
  It's where I come to  understand and learn

A
  Where the cross don't burn

                D                                  A
Yeah, we're all gathered here this mornin' at this riverbend

   Bm               A          G
To say our last goodbyes to my very best friend

Em                         A
As his ashes slowly float away

             Em                      A
We know it's only 'til we meet again someday

G
  In the land where the cotton grows

F#m              A
  In a time when change came slow

G             F#m    Em            C     A
  Just beyond    the point of no return

G
  A young boy and a kind old man

F#m                     A
  On the tracks walking hand in hand

G                   F#m Em             C      G
  It's where I come to  understand and learn

A
  Where the cross don't burn
