Introduction:
Bb C
Hey there mister, can you tell me what happened
F
To the seeds I've sown
Bb C
Can you give me a reason sir
F
As to why they've never grown
Bb F
They've just blown around from town to town
C F
Till they're back out on these fields
Bb F
Where they fall from my hand
C F
Back into the dirt of this hard land
Bb C F
Now me and my sister from Germantown, we did ride
Bb C F
We made our bed sir from the rock on the mountainside
Bb F
We been blowin' around from town to town
C F
Lookin' for a place to stand
Bb F
Where the sun burst through the cloud to fall like a circle
C F
Like a circle of fire down on this hard land
Bb C
Now even the rain it don't come 'round
F
It don't come 'round here no more
Bb C
And the only sound at night's the wind
F
Slammin' the back porch door
Bb F
It just stirs you up like it wants to blow you down
C F
Twistin' and churnin' up the sand
Bb F
Leavin' all them scarecrows lyin' face down
C F
Face down in the dirt of this hard land
Bb
From a building up on the hill
C F
I can hear a tape deck blastin' "Home on the Range"
Bb
I can see them Bar-M choppers
C F
Sweepin' low across the plains
Bb F
It's me and you Frank we're lookin' for lost cattle
C F
Our hooves twistin' and churnin' up the sand
Bb F
We're ridin' in the whirlwind searchin' for lost treasure
C F
Way down south of the Rio Grande
Bb
We're ridin' 'cross that river
F
In the moonlight
C F
Up onto the banks of this hard land
Bb
Hey Frank won't ya pack your bags
C F
And meet me tonight down at Liberty Hall
Bb
Just one kiss from you my brother
C F
And we'll ride until we fall
Bb
We'll sleep in the fields
F C
We'll sleep by the rivers and in the morning
F
We'll make a plan
Bb
Well if you can't make it
F
Stay hard, stay hungry, stay alive
C
If you can
F
And meet me in a dream of this hard land
