Standard (EADGBE)

Intro

after fiddle solo):

Six lanes, tail lights, red ants marching into the night

They disappear to the left and right again

Another supper from a sack, a ninety-nine cent heart attack

I got a pounding head and and aching back

And the camel's buried in a big straw stack

Chorus

But I'm gonna live where the green grass grows

Watch my corn pop up in rows

Every night be tucked in close to you

Raise our kids where the good Lord's blessed

Point our rocking chairs towards the west

Plant our dreams where the peaceful river flows

Where the green grass grows

(repeat intro chords)

Well I'm from, a map dot, a stop sign on a blacktop

I caught the first bus I could hop from there

But all of this glitter is getting dark

There's concrete growing in the city park

I don't know who my neighbors are

And there's bars on the doors and bars on my heart

Chorus

LAST CHORUS

But I'm gonna live where the green grass grows

Watch my corn pop up in rows

Every night be tucked in close to you

Raise our kids where the good Lord's blessed

Point our rocking chairs towards the west

--

Plant our dreams where the peaceful river flows

Ooo, Where the green grass grows

Repeat intro progression
