Verse 1
(G major) (G minor) From where I sit (G major) I (F major) can get a (G major) look at
just about everything in the book that I've wanted all my
life I guess.
(F major) Things that (G major) mean peace
and quiet and rest. (A minor)
(G major) This good old farm here on the hill I
I work for mighty hard until the day I paid the last red cent,
and now it's mine.
I pay no rent.
Why, I love every bush and stone and tree.
It seems like each one is just a part of me,
(F sharp major) an d I wouldn't (G major) trade this patch of ground
for any (B flat major) kingdom or any (G major) crown.
I look out the window,
I can see scars on the limb of that old maple tree, where
I hung a rope swing for my little boy,
Jim.
(E minor) Ah, there was a (C major) lad that made
me (G major) proud of him.
(B minor) Well, (G major) time rolled on, and war was declared,
and the very first day my
Jim volunteered.
And for four long years I breathed one prayer,
with old
Shep laying right (B minor) close to my (G major) chair.
And then one evening,
just about dark, old
Shep jumped up with a joyous bark.
He leaped
the fence and ran down the lane,
and there was my
Jim, hobbling home on a cane. (A minor)
(G major) He was
hurt and tired and weak and thin but he spoke
to (F major) me with that (G major) same old grin I
came home dead like I said I would and
I (F major) bowed my head an (G major) d said
God is good so
now I'm content to (F sharp major) plow and hoe (G major) an d dig and
plant watch things grow the goose
This hangs high, as the fellow said,
but once in a while I get to see in red, because (F sharp major) there
are (G major) some folks in this
U .S .A. who never worked a
single day.
They wouldn't stoop to soil their hand,
but how they'd love to change this land.
Change
America?
No siree, (F major) an d there's a (G major) hundred million (F sharp major) more like
me who'll tell you (G major) quick that it can't
be done, even if we have to pack a gun.
I don't have (F major) to stand up and shout.
(G major) We all
know who I'm talking about.
They're just like (F major) vultures,
ugly and (G major) fat, and it's
time somebody hollered, scat. (G major)
They kick about everything that's (F major) done,
the way our
government is run.
They bite the hand that gives them bread.
Why don't they get
of here instead.
They're doing their best to undermine this
home sweet home of yours and mine.
There's much more that I've left unsaid,
but right this minute I must see in red.
Seein' Red
