Intro

G Dsus4 G/B Cadd9

G Out on these Dsus Texas plains

G/B You can see for a Cadd9 million lives

G And there’s a Dsus thousand exits

G/B Between here Cadd9 and the state line

G About the Dsus last time that G/B I saw Cadd9 you

You said G call me PanDsusdora

G/B Call me A Cadd9 fool

G/B And I’m thinking this view, it could Cadd9 do you some good

G/B So drop these scales and Cadd9 take a look

Chorus

D There’s forty Em7 acres Cadd9 and redemption to be found

D Just aEm7long down the Cadd9 way

D There is a Em7 place where no Cadd9 plow blade has turned the ground

D But you will Em7 turn it over Cadd9 (hey)

D Cause out here hope remains G Dsus G/B

Cause out here hope remains Cadd9 Dsus G

Out here the Texas sky is as big as the sea

And you’re alone in your room like an island floating free

Your spirit’s hanging in a bottle on a tree

You say that you’re the black sheep, I say you’re still family

So throw that bottle to the waves

And I’ll bring you into me, and from the shore you will see

Chorus

Out here the Texas rain is the hardest I’ve ever seen

It’ll wash your house away, but it’ll also make you clean

And all these rocks are crying out too

And this whole land is calling out for you

Chorus

(Repeat last line twice, end with G)
