Standard (EADGBE)
Intro
after fiddle solo):
Six lanes, tail lights, red ants marching into the night
They disappear to the left and right again
Another supper from a sack, a ninety-nine cent heart attack
I got a pounding head and and aching back
And the camel's buried in a big straw stack
Chorus
But I'm gonna live where the green grass grows
Watch my corn pop up in rows
Every night be tucked in close to you
Raise our kids where the good Lord's blessed
Point our rocking chairs towards the west
Plant our dreams where the peaceful river flows
Where the green grass grows
(repeat intro chords)
Well I'm from, a map dot, a stop sign on a blacktop
I caught the first bus I could hop from there
But all of this glitter is getting dark
There's concrete growing in the city park
I don't know who my neighbors are
And there's bars on the doors and bars on my heart
Chorus
LAST CHORUS
But I'm gonna live where the green grass grows
Watch my corn pop up in rows
Every night be tucked in close to you
Raise our kids where the good Lord's blessed
Point our rocking chairs towards the west
--
Plant our dreams where the peaceful river flows
Ooo, Where the green grass grows
Repeat intro progression
