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

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