My Father's Son(Chords)

	        Intro: Em  G  D (x2) 
 
Em                C 
Old white washed barn doors 
G            D 
Rain rusted tin 
Em                      C 
Straw packed shirt and blue jeans 
G               D 
Hangin' in the wind 
               C              G        D 
There's never time for these bones to mend 
Em             C 
Up before the sun dries 
G                D 
The frost on my fields 
Em                  C 
I've got the diesel burnin' 
G                   D 
Turnin' these four wheels 
             C           G      D 
Across this land I been handed down 
           C         G             D 
I feel my roots run deep in this ground 

    G           D 
So stand me up tall in this seat 
C                        Em              D 
Lord help me guide this plow beneath my feet 
     G               D 
And turn this earth over one more time 
      C        G              D 
Some say this way of life is done 
     C                   Em  G  D 
But not for my father's son
 
 
Em         C 
Three Generations 
G              D 
Before I ever came 
Em              C 
Cut back these timbers 
     G                   D 
And bet their lives on grain 
               C        G             D 
And I want to see just once before I die 
          C               G            D 
Us doin' more than just barely getting by 
 
 
CHORUS 
 
 
Em              C 
Now and then I walk my fence 
G                        D 
Down by the old country road 
Em                     C 
And watch the cars go rushin' by 
G                    D 
And disappear like ghosts 
               C             G     D 
Out where the sky meets the amber waves 
            C            G        D 
Yeah I'm a rock in this land God made 
 
 
CHORUS
