Intro 2x: F  Bb  C  F
Verse 1:
             Bb           C
Hey there mister, can you tell me what happened
         F
To the seeds I've sown
                  Bb       C
Can you give me a reason sir
                   F
As to why they've never grown
               Bb               F
They've just blown around from town to town
            C                      F
Till they're back out on these fields
Bb                    F
Where they fall from my hand
C                      F
Back into the dirt of this hard land
Verse 2:
                 Bb        C             F
Now me and my sister from Germantown, we did ride
              Bb        C                 F
We made our bed sir from the rock on the mountainside
        Bb                      F
We been blowin' around from town to town
C                        F
Lookin' for a place to stand
                      Bb                    F
Where the sun burst through the cloud to fall like a circle
        C                            F
Like a circle of fire down on this hard land
Verse 3:
               Bb                    C
Now even the rain it don't come 'round
                   F
It don't come 'round here no more
              Bb                     C
And the only sound at night's the wind
              F
Slammin' the back porch door
  Bb                                 F
It just stirs you up like it wants to blow you down
C                                 F
Twistin' and churnin' up the sand
Bb                          F
Leavin' all them scarecrows lyin' face down
C                          F
Face down in the dirt of this hard land

Verse 3:
                Bb
From a building up on the hill
     C                                F
I can hear a tape deck blastin' "Home on the Range"
               Bb
I can see them Bar-M choppers
C           F
Sweepin' low across the plains
   Bb                               F
It's me and you Frank we're lookin' for lost cattle
   C                                          F
Our hooves twistin' and churnin' up the sand
       Bb                         F
We're ridin' in the whirlwind searchin' for lost treasure
C                       F
Way down south of the Rio Grande
       Bb
We're ridin' 'cross that river
       F
In the moonlight
C                      F
Up onto the banks of this hard land
Verse 4:
                    Bb
Hey Frank won't ya pack your bags
     C                         F
And meet me tonight down at Liberty Hall
         Bb
Just one kiss from you my brother
C                 F
And we'll ride until we fall
     Bb
We'll sleep in the fields
     F                                  C
We'll sleep by the rivers and in the morning
              F
We'll make a plan
                Bb
Well if you can't make it
                 F
Stay hard, stay hungry, stay alive
       C
If you can
                             F
And meet me in a dream of this hard land
