Capo on the 2nd fret.

Verse 1:
    D (xx0232@1)                                   G (320003@1)                                  D (xx0232@1)   As we sat on the front porch of that old grey house where i was born and raised
       Bm (x24432@1)                               G (320003@1)                         D (xx0232@1)   Stared out at the dusty fields where daddy always worked hard eveyday
         Bm (x24432@1)                                   G (320003@1)                             D (xx0232@1)   I think it kind of hurt him when i said "Daddy there's a lot that i don't know
         Bm (x24432@1)                         G (320003@1)                    D (xx0232@1)   But don't you ever dream about a life where corn don't grow"


Verse 2:
     D (xx0232@1)                        G (320003@1)                          D (xx0232@1)   He just sat there silent staring in his favorite coffee cup
            Bm (x24432@1)                            G (320003@1)                D (xx0232@1)   I saw a storm of mixed emotions in his eyes when he looked up
             Bm (x24432@1)                        G (320003@1)                                  D (xx0232@1)   He said "Son i know at your age it feels like this ol' world is turning slow
             Bm (x24432@1)                           G (320003@1)                       D (xx0232@1)   And you think you'll find the answer to it all,where corn don't grow"


Chorus:
 D (xx0232@1)                Bm (x24432@1)                G (320003@1)   Hard times are real,there's dusty fields
                         D (xx0232@1)   No matter where you go
                         Bm (x24432@1)                      G (320003@1)   You may change your mind,'cause the weeds are high
                       D (xx0232@1)   Where corn don't grow


Verse 3:
     D (xx0232@1)                             G (320003@1)                                 D (xx0232@1)   I remember feeling guilty when daddy turned and walked back in the house
           Bm (x24432@1)                             G (320003@1)                             D (xx0232@1)   I was only seventeen back then but it seems like i knew more than i do now
            Bm (x24432@1)                        G (320003@1)                      D (xx0232@1)   I can't say he didn't tell me this city life's a hard row to hoe
          Bm (x24432@1)                        G (320003@1)                     D (xx0232@1)   It's funny how a dream can turn around,where corn don't grow


Chorus.

 D (xx0232@1)                     Bm (x24432@1)                      G (320003@1)   You may change your mind,'cause the weeds are high
                       D (xx0232@1)   Where corn don't grow
