Intro
C#
[Verse 1]
C#
Me and mine have worked this land
F# C#
As long as my grandfather can remember
C#
Plowin' soil, diggin' holes
F# C#
Haulin' coal, to strippin' down the timber
G# F# C#
Then they showed up, they shut us down
G# F# C#
Same old story, the same old town
C# F#
"It's like we don't matter", momma said
C#
"At least that's how it seems"
G# F#
And that's the day I woke up
C#
From the American dream
[Verse 2]
C#
What are you supposed to do,
F#
When the God you're prayin' to
C#
Up and goes missin'?
C#
Leaves a trail of unpaid bills
F# C#
Broken homes and opioid addiction
G#
And then a politician shows up
F# C#
Promisin' that
G#
He'll return the jobs
F# C#
That God himself could not bring back
C#
Fool me once, shame on you
F# C#
Fool me twice, shame on me
G# F#
Yeah, that's the day I gave up
C#
On the American dream
[Chorus]
D#m
These lamentations
F# C#
Are gettin' too damn hard to sing
D#m
These lamentations
F# C#
Are gonna be the death of me
[Verse 3]
C#
You see, me and mine, we ain't the kind
F# C#
To sit around idle and complain
C#
We're tough as nails, mean as hell
F# C#
Without an ounce of quit in our veins
G# F# C#
But the harder we work, the more they take
G# F# C#
Till all the good is gone, for goodness sake
C#
Neither the left or the right
F# C#
Are gonna fight for folks stuck in between
G# F#
The way things really are
C#
The American dream
[Chorus]
D#m
These lamentations
F# C#
Are gonna be the death of me
D#m
These lamentations
F# C#
Are gettin' too damn hard to sing
D#m
These lamentations
F# C#
Are gonna be the death of me
D#m
These lamentations
F# C#
Are gettin' too damn hard to sing
