Intro 1
(E major) (E minor) (E major) (E minor)
Verse 1
This land was (E minor) ours
as far as the eye could see (E major)
Took (E minor) it from the Chero (G major) kee
with a scalping knife
and a white man's disease
(D major) When the (C major) smallpox ravaged their town
We came in (E minor) and burnt them down
And took this (A minor) dark an (B minor) d bloody ground
(C major) This (A minor) dark an (B minor) d bloody ground
(C major) This (A minor) dark and (B minor) bloody ground (E minor) (E major)
I (E minor) took (A minor) a (E minor) prisoner, cause I needed a wife
I broke a will, (G major) she gave me a son,
I sped her life (D major)
It was a (C major) fate much worse than death
Yeah, we were (E minor) kissed by
the devil's breath
Sittin' on this (A minor) dark an
(B minor) d bloody (A minor) ground (C major)
This (A minor) dark and bloody ground (C major)
This (A minor) dark and bloody (C major) (B minor) ground (A minor) (E minor)
Ooh, lay our bodies down (G major)
Oh, I'm six feet underground (D major)
And when the long cold winter (E minor) ends
Oh, the sun comes shining in (D major)
The crop will grow again (A minor)
In this dark and (C major) murky (E minor) (C major) land (E minor)
They gave me 300,
put a penny in my hand
I was drunk on corn liquor,
(G major) I signed rights away to my land (D major)
The coal company tore (C major) my
homestead down
With the black (E minor) hole from the ground
Left a hole in this (A minor) dark and
bloody ground (C major)
This (A minor) dark and bloody ground (C major)
This (A minor) dark and bloody (C major) (B minor) ground (C major) (E minor)
If Jesus was born in Kentucky
and made him pay for his nails
Well shit, he'd have to (G major) work off his debt
down here in this (D major) hill
Well, every (C major) day you walk in
company and scream
And you lie, (E minor) it don't mean shit
Just a piece of this dark (A minor)
and bloody ground (C major)
This (A minor) dark and bloody ground
(C major) This (A minor) dark and bloody ground
I (C major) (A minor) lay my body down (G major)
Put me six feet in the (D major) ground
And when the long cold winter ends (E minor)
The sun comes shining in (D major)
And the crops will grow again (E minor) (A minor) (B minor) (C major) (A minor) (C major) (A minor)
(C major)
(A minor) (C major) (A minor) (C major) (A minor) (C major) (A minor)
(C major) (A minor) (C major) (E minor) (A minor) (E minor)
You
