[G D Em C] [G D C]

      [G              D]

Well this life that I’ve lived [Em C] Has took me everywhere [G D C] There ain’t no place I ain’t never gone [G D] But it’s kinda like the sayin’ [Em C] That you heard so many times [G D C] Well there just ain’t no place like home

[G D C C]

    [G          D         Em          C]

Did you ever see a she-gator protect her youngins [G D C] Or the fish in a river swimmin’ free [G D Em C] Did you ever see the beauty of the hills of Carolina [G D C] Or the sweetness of the grass in Tennesee

{CHORUS:} [G D C] And lord I can’t make any changes [G D C] All I can do is write ‘em in a song [G D Em C] Cus I can see the concrete a slowly creepin’ [G D C] Lord take me and mine before that comes

{Short Solo (G Major)} [G D C C] [G D C C]

Like to see the mountain stream a flowing Do you like to see a youngin with his dog Did you ever stop and think about well the air you’re breathing Well you better listen to my song

{CHORUS}

{SOLO (A Major):} [A E D D A E D D A E D D A E D D]

I’m not tryin’ to put down no big city But the things they write about us is just a bore You can take a boy out of old Dixieland But you’ll never take Dixie from a boy

{OUTRO:}

{CHORUS, then} [G D Em C] Yes, well I can see the concrete a slowly creeping [G D C] Lord take me and mine before that comes.
