CAPO 1

Intro:
A   G   D/F#m   G  x2


Verse 1:
A               G
Up and down the roads we go,
D/F#m          G
Tearing up the ground we sowed
     A                  G
With corn and beans and greens and oh,
D/F#m                G
Yeah, man, it was hot

    A                 G
And I learned not to beg no more
     D/F#m              G
When we'd drive by that country store
     A                          G
When grandpa would say "what you need it for?
          D/F#m               G
Ain't got nothin' we ain't got"


Prechorus 1:
             F
You couldn't tell that old man nothing
       G
He was backwoods to the bone
         F
He'd say let me tell you something, boy,
   E
If there's something I want


Chorus:
             A
I'll grow my own,
      G             D/F#m    G         D          A
Yeah, all I need is G-O-D to bless the seeds I've sown
    G                   D/F#m
And pray for a little rain
        F             G
Yeah my daddy was the same,
   A         G         D/F#m            G
He showed me as a kid, how to live and let live
D      F                                      E
If you think you know what's good for me, you don't
             A   G   D/F#m   G   (repeat chords)
I'll grow my own


Verse 2:
   A                    G
As long as schools keep washing brains
   D/F#m              G
On how to ride that gravy train
    A                  G
And teaching kids that there just ain't
   D/F#m            G
No God up in the sky

   A                G
As long as they say guns are bad
    D/F#m             G
And you don't need no mom and dad
A                G
Sex is just some fun you have
    D/F#m           G
And love is all a lie


Prechorus 2:
       F
Well I pray for all those kids you raise
   G
On my hard workin' dime
      F
But unless you change your crazy ways
E
You ain't raisin' mine


Chorus:
             A
I'll grow my own,
      G             D/F#m    G         D          A
Yeah, all I need is G-O-D to bless the seeds I've sown
    G                   D/F#m
And pray for a little rain
        F             G
Yeah my daddy was the same,
   A         G         D/F#m            G
He showed me as a kid, how to live and let live
D      F                                        E
If you think you know what's good for them, you don't
                     A   F   D/F#m   G   (repeat chords)
Man, I'll grow my own      yes I will


Bridge:
              A                  F
Your lips are movin', Hell I can see 'em
        D/F#m                     G
But Mr. Politician I just don't believe 'em
            A                  F
You want my money, you want my freedom
            D/F#m                              G
You want my rights but I'ma fight like hell to keep 'em.
            A                  G
You want my sweat, you want my blood,
            D/F#m            F         A   G   D/F#m   G
You want my daughters and my son-----


Chorus:
                 A
But I'll grow my own,
      G             D/F#m    G         D          A
Yeah, all I need is G-O-D to bless the seeds I've sown
    G                   D/F#m
And pray for a little rain
         F             G
Yeah, my daddy was the same
   A         G         D/F#m            G
He showed me as a kid, how to live and let live
    D      F                                      G
And if you think you know what's good for us, you don't
          F                                   E
Yeah, the best thing you can do is leave us alone
                 A   G   D/F#m
And I'll grow my own
G         D        A   G   D/F#m   G   D   A
Yeah, I'll grow my own
