Shadows Of The Heartland(Chords)

	        G           C 
 
Verse One: 
G 
Sittin in the shade made by a hay truck on a hot day 
 
A cloud of dust on an old dirt road meant lemonade was on the way 
        C                                                G 
She was beautiful, and her daddy said that I made a good hand 
   D                                        C 
We laid there on the ground as the sun went down 
                      G 
On the shadows of the heartland 
 
Verse Two: 
G 
I helped her daddy fix up his old beat-up red Ford pick-up 
 
I had her shinin' like a diamond, he said climb behind the wheel son 
        C                                                         G 
She was beautiful, said take her slow as he placed the keys in my hand 
    D                              C                     G 
And dancin' in the headlights that night, shadows of the heartland 
 
Chorus: 
D                                 C 
Heaven can't be far away from the fields of gold where I was raised 
          G 
Where the sun shines bright but the light comes from the word 
          D 
Where you know you reap the seeds you sow 
    C 
You count your blessings row by row 
    G 
And sweat and blood and tears and love still work 
    Em              D               C 
The life I live the love I give the man I am 
               G 
Shadows of the heartland 
 
Verse Three: 
G 
Friday night lights shining bright the last game of the season 
 
We were just one play away from being undefeated 
             C                                                         G 
The pass was beautiful, but somehow that ball slipped right through my hands 
        D                                     C 
She was there to hold me close when it turned cold 
                      G 
In the shadows of the heartland 
 
Chorus: 
D                                 C 
Heaven can't be far away from the fields of gold where I was raised 
          G 
Where the sun shines bright but the light comes from the word 
          D 
Where you know you reap the seeds you sow 
    C 
You count your blessings row by row 
    G 
And sweat and blood and tears and love still work 
    Em              D               C 
The life I live the love I give the man I am 
               G            D     Em      c 
Shadows of the heartland 
 
 
 D      Em          C        G 
Amazing grace and a place to plow 
D           Em          C 
That's what her dad was all about 
     Em             C 
Wish he was with us now 
 
Chorus: 
D                                 C 
Heaven can't be far away from the fields of gold where I was raised 
          G 
Where the sun shines bright but the light comes from the word 
          D 
Where you know you reap the seeds you sow 
    C 
You count your blessings row by row 
    G 
And sweat and blood and tears and love still work 
    Em              D               C 
The life I live the love I give the man I am 
               G 
Shadows of the heartland
