[Verse 1]
G            C                D                           G             Gsus4
  Hey there mister, can you tell me what happened to the seeds I've sown
G                    C         D                      G
  Can you give me a reason sir, as to why they ain't never grown
             C                  G
They've just blown around from town to town
      D                G
Back out on to these fields
       C              G
Where they fall from, from my hand
 D                     G             Gsus4
Back into the dirt of this hard land
G
  Come on
 
[Verse 2]
G               C       D                      G           Gsus4
  Well me and my sister, from Germantown yeah, we did ride
G                C         D                      G
  And we made our beds sir, from the rock on the mountainside
            C                   G
We've been blowin' around from town to town
   D                    G
Lookin' for a place to land
           C                                      G
Where the sun could break through the clouds and fall like a circle
   D                        G             Gsus4 | G   |
The circle of fire down on this hard land
 
[Verse 3]
G                     C                     D                 G               Gsus4
 Well, now even the rain it don't come 'round, don't come 'round here no more
G                C                    D                  G
 And the only sound at night's the wind slammin' that back porch door
          C                              G
Yeah, it stirs you up like it wants to just blow you down
    D                           G
Twistin' and churnin' up the sand
  C                            G
Leavin' all them scarecrows lyin' face down
D                  G            Gsus4 | G   |
Into the dirt of this hard land

[Verse 4]
     G                  C                D                         G                Gsus4
Well, from a building up on the hill, I hear a tape deck blastin' Home On The Range
G                     C            D               G
 And I can hear them Bar-M choppers sweeping low across the plains
     C                            G
It's me and you Frank, we're lookin' for lost cattle
        D                               G
Our hooves twistin' and churnin' up the sand
               C                           G
Yeah, we're ridin' in the whirlwind searching for a treasure
 D                     G
Way down south of the Rio Grande
       C                         G
We're ridin' across that river in the moonlight
  D                           G            Gsus4 | G   |
Yeah, up on to the banks of this hard land
 
[Verse 5]
G                         C                      D                     G           Gsus4
 Well hey, Frank won't you pack your bags and meet me tonight down at Liberty Hall
G               C                     D                G
 Ah, just one kiss from you my brother and we'll ride until we fall
       C                              G
We'll sleep out in the fields, we'll sleep by the rivers
            D                    G
And in the morning we'll make a plan
                       C                      G                      D
Well, if you can't make it stay hard, stay hungry, stay alive if you can
    D                      G             Gsus4 | G   |
And meet me in a dream of this hard land
