Intro: E5  G5  D5 (x2) 
 
E5                C5 
Old white washed barn doors 
G5            D5 
Rain rusted tin 
E5                      C5 
Straw packed shirt and blue jeans 
G5               D5 
Hangin' in the wind 
               C5              G5        D5 
There's never time for these bones to mend 
E5             C5 
Up before the sun dries 
G5                D5 
The frost on my fields 
E5                  C5 
I've got the diesel burnin' 
G5                   D5 
Turnin' these four wheels 
             C5           G5      D5 
Across this land I been handed down 
           C5         G5             D5 
I feel my roots run deep in this ground 

Refr?o -------------
    G5           D5 
So stand me up tall in this seat 
C5                        E5              D5 
Lord help me guide this plow beneath my feet 
     G5               D5 
And turn this earth over one more time 
      C5        G5              D5 
Some say this way of life is done 
     C5                   E5  G5  D5 
But not for my father's son
--------------------
 
E5         C5 
Three Generations 
G5              D5 
Before I ever came 
E5              C5 
Cut back these timbers 
     G5                   D5 
And bet their lives on grain 
               C5        G5             D5 
And I want to see just once before I die 
          C5               G5            D5 
Us doin' more than just barely getting by 
 
CHORUS 
 
 
E5              C5 
Now and then I walk my fence 
G5                        D5 
Down by the old country road 
E5                     C5 
And watch the cars go rushin' by 
G5                    D5 
And disappear like ghosts 
               C5             G5     D5 
Out where the sky meets the amber waves 
            C5            G5        D5 
Yeah I'm a rock in this land God made 
 
CHORUS
