[Intro]
G D C G
[VERSE 1]
G She was a hard, hard woman with a pilgrim soul, D Had a face all lined from I don’t know C Where she has been, G But now she’s here with me. G D We headed North on 29 through Kansas City,
4th of July.
C In the late night fog, G There were fireworks to see.
[CHORUS]
C G D And when I’m lost, you are my True North. C G D Carry the weight of my Southern Cross. C G D And though it burns, you don’t fear the hurt, Em D C G You were born from the dust, you were raised in the dirt.
[VERSE 2]
G We were all hopped up on kerosene, D Or something else that burns, it seemed C That we would never G Put the fire out. G I got down on my knees to pray, D Forgot the words I used to say, C When I was young, G Each night ‘fore I laid down.
[CHORUS]
C G D And when I’m lost, you are my True North. C G D Carry the weight of my Southern Cross. C G D And though it burns, you don’t fear the hurt, Em D C G You were born from the dust, you were raised in the dirt. Em D C G You were born from the dust, you were raised in the dirt.
[BRIDGE]
Em C I’ve been counting stars above the water, G C Evenin’s winding down. Em C G Em C Just thinking bout the things I’ve seen and where I’m running now. Em C G D C And when the sun comes up tomorrow I’ll be headed out. Em G D Yeah that’s the part I know could tear me down.
[CHORUS]
C G D And when I’m lost, you are my True North. C G D Carry the weight of my Southern Cross. C G D And though it burns, you don’t fear the hurt, Em D C G You were born from the dust, you were raised in the dirt. Em D C G You were born from the dust, you were raised in the dirt. Em D C G You were born from the dust, you were raised in the dirt.
