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