Heartland

Tom: C
           C                       C7           F
There's a home place under fire tonight in the Heartland
         C                     G7                    C
And the bankers are taking my home and my land from me
                                        C7            F
There's a big gapping hole in my chest now, where my heart was
                     G7                     C
  And a hole in the sky, where God used to be
           C                       C7           F
There's a home place under fire tonight in the Heartland
           C                         G7                   C
There's a well where the water's so bitter nobody can't drink
                                           C7         F
And no way to get high and my mouth is so dry that I can't talk
            C                     G7                C
Oh, they  know that 'm dying why nobody crying for me
              G                       C
My American dream, fell apart at the seams
                     G                          C
You tell me what it means, you tell me what it means

There's a home place under fire tonight in a Heartland
     C                      G7                  C
and bankers are taking the homes and the land away
           C                    C7                 F
There's a young boy closing his eyes tonight in a Heartland
          C                       G7                       C
who will wake up a man with some land and a loan he can't pay
               G                       C
His American dream, fell apart at the seams
                     G                          C
You tell me what it means, you tell me what it means.
