[Intro]
D F G
[Verse 1]
D Right outside of this one church town F There's a gold dirt road to a whole lot of nothin' G F Got a deed to the land, but it ain't my ground D This is God's country D We pray for rain, and thank Him when it's fallen F 'Cause it brings a grain and a little bit of money G We put it back in the plate D I guess that's why they call it God's country
[Chorus]
D I saw the light in the sunrise F Sittin' back in the 40 on the muddy riverside G F Gettin' baptized in holy water and shine D With the dogs runnin' D Saved by the sound of the been found F Dixie whistled in the wind, that'll get you Heaven bound G F The devil went down to Georgia, but he didn't stick around D This is God's country
[Verse 2]
D We turned the dirt and worked until the week's done F We take a break and break bread on Sunday G And then do it all again F D 'Cause we're proud to be from God's country (Yeah, yeah)
[Chorus]
D I saw the light in the sunrise F Sittin' back in the 40 on the muddy riverside G F Gettin' baptized in holy water and shine D With the dogs runnin' D Saved by the sound of the been found F Dixie whistled in the wind, that'll get you Heaven bound G F The devil went down to Georgia but he didn't stick around D This is God's country (Yeah)
[Interlude]
D (This is God's country) D God's country
[Bridge]
D I don't care what my headstone reads F Or what kind of pine wood box I end up in G F When it's my time, lay me six feet deep D In God's country (Yeah, yeah)
[Chorus]
D I saw the light in the sunrise F Sittin' back in the 40 on the muddy riverside G F Gettin' baptized in holy water and shine D With the dogs runnin' D Saved by the sound of the been found F Dixie whistled in the wind, that'll get you Heaven bound G F The devil went down to Georgia but he didn't stick around D This is God's country (God's country) D Yeah, I saw the light in the sunrise F Sittin' back in the 40 on the muddy riverside G F Gettin' baptized in holy water and shine D With the dogs runnin' D Saved by the sound of the been found F Dixie whistled in the wind, that'll get you Heaven bound G F The devil went down to Georgia but he didn't stick around D This is God's country
I based this version off of an acoustic cover by HARDY who wrote the song, I will include a video link below
if you need help with the chord shapes. The drop d tuning just makes it sound so much bigger and badass.
