[Intro] G G F C [Verse 1]
       G                         G
Today I woke from a dream, self-imposed suffering

     F                    C
I was clawing my way up a red clay mountain

    G                        G
The blistering sun, my sweat soaking my clothing

F                    C
I questioned myself, why keep going?

G                    G
Over my shoulder were towering trees

     F                 C
Their rustling branches summoning me

    G                   G
To a parallel trail, one not so steep

F                C
Offering shelter, offering ease
G G F C [Chorus]
C   Am
Red clay

C                             Am
You don’t have to do this the hard way
G G F C [Verse 2]
    G                      G
So I take a deep breath and turn to be brave

F                    C
Harvest the fruits of being afraid

G                      G
Take a deep breath and turn to be brave

F                     C
Harvest the fruits of being afraid

G                      G
Take a deep breath and turn to be brave

F                     C
Harvest the fruits of being afraid
[Chorus]
C   Am
Red clay

C                             Am
You don’t have to do this the hard way, oo

C   Am
Red clay

C                            Am
We don’t have to do this the hard way
