[Intro]
D G (x2)
[Verse 1]
D G I was raised up in the pine trees D G Tobacco fields on either side D G Taught to love God and country D G Down a mile long red dirt drive D G Mama prayed every Sunday D G Lord knows back then times were rough D G Daddy worked more than he stayed home D G But in the end it just wasn’t enough
[Pre-Chorus]
A G One day they came to take it all away, A G From my room I heard my daddy stand tall and say
[Chorus]
D Take my guns, take my faith G Take what you want from my hard earned pay D G You can take turns knocking down this working man D Take the Bible I got from grandma G Outta my house on daddy’s land A G You can take it all D Right outta my cold dead hands
[Verse 2]
D G They cut down all those pines trees D G Now those fields are paved and gone D G They couldn’t take what daddy taught me, he said D G You gotta stand up for what you own
[Pre-Chorus]
A G If the day comes that they try to take it all away A G I’ll take my turn, look ‘em in the eye and say
[Chorus]
D Take my guns, take my faith G Take what you want from my hard earned pay D G You can take turns knocking down this working man D Take the Bible I got from grandma G Outta my house on daddy’s land A G You can take it all D Right outta my cold dead hands
[Solo]
D G x2
[Bridge]
A G I’ll always hold my ground I'll never run away A G That’s exactly what I’ll teach my son someday
[Chorus]
D Take my guns, take my faith G Take what you want from my hard earned pay D G You can take turns knocking down this working man D Take the Bible I got from grandma G Outta my house on daddy’s land A G You can take it all A G You can take it all D Right outta my cold dead hands
