Well I rode the green across this country.

Horses lived and died to take me
F9
Men I killed to help me get there, further west I died to take me.
C7                               C
Blackened face and dirty laundry.

Many days since I have eaten.

Found myself a family.

Broke my back so I could feed them.

Weʼre gonnaʼ raise up the heavens.

Waking up all the children.

Making love in early morning.

We took to building up the cities.

Happy in the green country.

And in the green they buried me.

As I held you in the green.
