Verse 1
(G major) The good earth swallows up the
seed and (E minor) swallows life as well
From (C major) long before the day you're
born till (F minor) heaven comes (F major) or (D major) hell
It bind (G major) s your hands with chains of
clay (E minor) that are so hard to break
But (C major) when I left good earth behind
I (F major) made (D major) a big mistake
(G major)
Verse 2
I've traveled (E minor) far and traveled wide
(C major) I've seen a lot of things
(A major) But looking back on all the years
I (D major) don't know what they mean
Like steel (G major) I'm probably stronger
From (E minor) going through the fire
I (C major) kept on climbin' lower
Diggin' (F major) deeper (D major) to get higher
(G major)

Verse 3
I turned around one evening
when the sun (E minor) was going down
I heard the (C major) Bible told a preacher who
(F minor) just pulled into (F major) town (D major)
At last (G major) I'm back on good earth where
I (E minor) should have always been (C major)
Lord forgive me if I (F major) ever try to
(F minor) leave (D major) good earth again
(G major)
Verse 4
Well the (E minor) good earth was my
mama (C major) and my daddy too
(A major) Now I'm working my hands in
soil (D major) tryin' to pay my due
An (G major) d when I'll breathe my last
breath which may (E minor) not be too long
Just shovel (C major) a little good
earth over my head
'Til everybody open up the hymn
book and sing (D major) a happy song
(G major)
Verse 5
Shall we gather at the river
in (E minor) the sweet by and by
Just (C major) as I am Jesus loves me (F major) one
of these days I'll fly (G major) (D major)
I'm standing (G major) on the promises
Lord (E minor) build the place for me
In the good (C major) earth over Jordan by the Sea (F major)
(D major) of Galilee (G major) (E minor) mhm
