Where The Green Grass Grows (correct)(Cavaco chords)

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