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