Song: This Hard Land
[Intro]
G C D G x2
[Verse 1]
G C D G Gsus4
Hey there mister, can you tell me what happened to the seeds I've sown
G C D G
Can you give me a reason sir, as to why they've never grown
C G
They've just blown around from town to town
D G
'Til they're back out on these fields
C G
Where they fall from my hand
D G Gsus4
Back into the dirt of this hard land.
(same chord pattern over the rest of the song)
[Verse 2]
G C D G Gsus4
Now me and my sister, from Germantown yes we did ride
G C D G
We made our bed sir from the rock on the mountainside
C G
We been blowin' around form town to town
D G
Lookin' for a place to stand
C G
Where the sun bursts through the clouds to fall like a circle
D G
Like a circle of fire down on this hard land.
[Verse 3]
G C D G Gsus4
Now even the rain it don't come 'round, don't come 'round here no more
G C D G
And the only sound at night's the wind slammin' the back porch door
C G
It just stirs you up like it wants to blow you down
D G
Twistin' and churnin' up the sand
C G
Leavin' all them scarecrows lyin' face down
D G
Face down in the dirt of this hard land.
[Instrumental]
(Verse chords)
[Verse 4]
G C D G Gsus4
From a building upon the hill I can hear a tape deck blastin' Home On The Range
G C D G
I can see them Bar-M choppers sweeping low across the plains
C G
It's me and you Frank, we're lookin for lost cattle
D G
Our hooves twistin' and churnin' up the sand
C G
We're ridin' in the whirlwind searching for lost treasure
D G
Way down south of the Rio Grande
C G
We're ridin' across that river in the moonlight
D G
Up on to the banks of this hard land.
G C D G Gsus4
Hey Frank won't you pack your bags and meet me tonight down at Liberty Hall
G C D G
Just one more kiss from you my brother and we'll ride until we fall
C G
We'll sleep in the fields, we'll sleep by the rivers
D G
And in the morning we'll make a plan
C G
Well if you can't make it stay hard, stay hungry, stay alive if you can
D G
And meet me in a dream of this hard land.
