[Verse 1]
G           D
Six lanes, tail lights,
Em7                Cadd9
red ants marching into the night
G
They disappear to the
D               Cadd9
left and right again
G               D
Another supper from a sack,
Em7                  Cadd9
a ninety-nine cent heart attack
G
I got a pounding head and
D
and aching back
Cadd9   G
And the camel's buried
Am        D
in a big straw stack.

[Chorus]
G
But I'm gonna live where
D
the green grass grows
Cadd9             D
Watch my corn pop up in rows
G              D               Cadd9  D
Every night be tucked in close to you
G
Raise our kids where the
D
good Lord's blessed
Cadd9                     D
Point our rockin' chairs
D
towards the west
G                           D
Plant our dreams where the peaceful
river flows
Cadd9 G           Am    D    G
Where the green grass grows.

[Verse 2]
G                D        Em7
Well, I'm from, a map dot,
Cadd9
a stop sign on a   blacktop
G
I caught the first bus
D                Cadd9
I could hop from there
G                      D
But all of this glitter is getting dark
Em7                     Cadd9
There's concrete growing in the city
park
G                      D
I don't know who my neighbors are
Cadd9
And there's bars on the
G         Am         D
doors and bars on my heart.

[Chorus]
G
But I'm gonna live where
D
the green grass grows
Cadd9             D
Watch my corn pop up in rows
G              D               Cadd9  D
Every night be tucked in close to you
G
Raise our kids where the
D
good Lord's blessed
Cadd9                     D
Point our rockin' chairs
D
towards the west
G                           D
Plant our dreams where the peaceful
river flows
Cadd9 G           Am    D    G
Where the green grass grows.
