G5           C5 
Verse One: 
G5 
Sittin in the shade made by a hay truck on a hot day 
 
A cloud of dust on an old dirt road meant lemonade was on the way 
        C5                                                G5 
She was beautiful, and her daddy said that I made a good hand 
   D5                                        C5 
We laid there on the ground as the sun went down 
                      G5 
On the shadows of the heartland 
 
Verse Two: 
G5 
I helped her daddy fix up his old beat-up red Ford pick-up 
 
I had her shinin' like a diamond, he said climb behind the wheel son 
        C5                                                         G5 
She was beautiful, said take her slow as he placed the keys in my hand 
    D5                              C5                     G5 
And dancin' in the headlights that night, shadows of the heartland 
 
Chorus: 
D5                                 C5 
Heaven can't be far away from the fields of gold where I was raised 
          G5 
Where the sun shines bright but the light comes from the word 
          D5 
Where you know you reap the seeds you sow 
    C5 
You count your blessings row by row 
    G5 
And sweat and blood and tears and love still work 
    E5              D5               C5 
The life I live the love I give the man I am 
               G5 
Shadows of the heartland 
 
Verse Three: 
G5 
Friday night lights shining bright the last game of the season 
 
We were just one play away from being undefeated 
             C5                                                         G5 
The pass was beautiful, but somehow that ball slipped right through my hands 
        D5                                     C5 
She was there to hold me close when it turned cold 
                      G5 
In the shadows of the heartland 
 
Chorus: 
D5                                 C5 
Heaven can't be far away from the fields of gold where I was raised 
          G5 
Where the sun shines bright but the light comes from the word 
          D5 
Where you know you reap the seeds you sow 
    C5 
You count your blessings row by row 
    G5 
And sweat and blood and tears and love still work 
    E5              D5               C5 
The life I live the love I give the man I am 
               G5            D5     E5      C5 
Shadows of the heartland 
 

 D5      E5          C5        G5 
Amazing grace and a place to plow 
D5           E5          C5 
That's what her dad was all about 
     E5             C5 
Wish he was with us now

Heaven can't be far away from the fields of gold where I was raised 
          G5 
Where the sun shines bright but the light comes from the word 
          D5 
Where you know you reap the seeds you sow 
    C5 
You count your blessings row by row 
    G5 
And sweat and blood and tears and love still work 
    E5              D5               C5 
The life I live the love I give the man I am 
               G5 
Shadows of the heartland
