My Father's Son

Key: G

Introduction:  Em   G   D  

 Em                               C 
Old white washed barn doors
 G                       D 
Rain rusted tin
 Em                                           C 
Straw packed shirt and blue jeans
 G                             D 
Hangin' in the wind
                               C                           G               D 
There's never time for these bones to mend
 Em                         C 
Up before the sun dries
 G                               D 
The frost on my fields
 Em                                   C 
I've got the diesel burnin'
 G                                     D 
Turnin' these four wheels
                           C                     G           D 
Across this land I been handed down
                       C                 G                         D 
I feel my roots run deep in this ground
         G                     D 
So stand me up tall in this seat
 C                                               Em                           D 
Lord help me guide this plow beneath my feet
           G                             D 
And turn this earth over one more time
             C               G                           D 
Some say this way of life is done
           C                                     Em   G   D 
But not for my father's son
 Em                 C 
Three Generations
 G                           D 
Before I ever came
 Em                           C 
Cut back these timbers
           G                                     D 
And bet their lives on grain
                               C               G                         D 
And I want to see just once before I die
                     C                             G                       D 
Us doin' more than just barely getting by
CHORUS
 Em                           C 
Now and then I walk my fence
 G                                               D 
Down by the old country road
 Em                                         C 
And watch the cars go rushin' by
 G                                       D 
And disappear like ghosts
                               C                         G         D 
Out where the sky meets the amber waves
                         C                       G               D 
Yeah I'm a rock in this land God made
CHORUS
