Verse 1
Dear (C major) cousin Tori,
(G major) I hope this (C major) letter finds (D major) you (G major) well.
The floods have taken (C major) hold of (G major) us,
but my hus (C major) band will not (D major) sell.
Your (C major) letters have all per (G major) ished,
the (C major) Bible has (A minor) sur (D major) vived.
And (G major) Jesus holds (C major) us in his hand (G major) s
In (C major) a land where (D major) love abides (G major)
When (C major) you're forty (G major) years upon (C major) the land (G major)
The (C major) land becomes (D major) your soul (G major)
We've seen candles gone to (C major) kerosene,
(G major) lamps (C major) and electric (D major) poles
All (C major) along the (G major) telegraph,
the (C major) song of the talking wire (D major)
The (G major) massacre of (C major) Indians,
the dying of (D major) their (G major) fires
(D major) Grandchildren lie in (G major) grass and wheat
and (D major) watch the trains roll (G major) by
They (D major) dream they'll see old (G major) Jesse James
com (D major) ing through the (G major) rye
They (A major) sing about John (D major) Henry
and (A major) Barbara Allen's (D major) ghost
As they (A major) talk of hopping freight (D major) trains
To the (A major) promised land, (D major) coast
The (G major) Larsons and the (C major) Russell (G major) s
Have (C major) fled the (D major) land of (G major) corn
To search for gold in (C major) Holly (G major) wood
Where the (C major) worst of dreams are (D major) born
They (C major) leave behind their (G major) heritage,
their (C major) tools from Ireland
(D major) (G major) The gold they seek in (C major) California
is (G major) (C major) glitter mixed (D major) with (G major) sand
American primitive man,
American primitive land (C major)
(G major) I seldom feel his (C major) loving hand,
Amer (G major) ican primitive (D major) man.
