[Verse 1]
[G]I p[C]lan[D] to[G] si[C]t o[D]ut on[G] the deck
at the end of each bone weary day
[C]To eas[G]e out the aches,
as I'd watch the last rays of the [C]sun as it's [D]sinking [G]away
But I [C]guess that won't happen [G]now
Back in the eighties, we had our babies
We [C]promised we'd teach them
[G]each inch of these [D]plains
We'd make [G]sure that they'd know
all their weeds from the clover
[C]Enough to take [D]over [G]someday
But I [C]guess that won't happen [G]now
So [C]someone discovered
what [G]lies in the [D]ground
And the [C]dollars it [D]pays are worth
[C]more than the [D]life in this [G]place[C]
[D]He bea[G]rs my name,
but I feel like I failed him
These [C]pastures are all [G]that I taught [D]him
And now we'll [G]lock up the gate
With the one barb to play
On a [C]place meant [D]to be here [G]someday
But I [C]guess that won't happen [G]now
So [C]someone discovered
[G]what lies in the ground
[D]And the dol[C]lars it pay[D]s are worth
[C]more than the [D]life in this [G]place[C]
[D]What bir[A]ds will sing one decade in whe[Esus4]n
[D]the earth is abandoned, deple[A]ted
[E]An d the [A]water, the fetter,
is lost [D]now, [A]forever
An[D]d mankind and nature defeated
[A]But[E] I g[D]uess it doesn't matter
to them right [E]now
They're [D]too busy holding
what [A]lies in the ground
[E]And the dol[D]lars it pays
[E]are worth mor[D]e than the lif[E]e in this pla[A]ce
and the [D]dollars it pays
[E]are worth mor[D]e than the liv[E]es in
this [A]place[D][E][D][E][D][E][A]
