verse 1 

C                       G 
Seen him playing in his backyard 
F                        C 
Young boy just starting out 
G       E7              Am 
So much history in this landscape 
Bb                         G 
So much confusion, so much doubt 
C                            G 
Been there drinking on that front porch 
F                     C 
Angry kids, mean and dumb 
G            E7                   Am 
Looks like a painting, that blue skyline 
Bb                            E Am E 
God hates fags where we come from
