No Capo

[Intro]

D G

ё[Verse 1]

I come from the heart of the Heartland

Where pictures shows where the corn grows

In rows and rows of summer greens

And winter snows

And it goes on

Through the crack of the bat

Oh everybody rollin' out their welcome mat

D G

And our hands on our hearts under the stars of the Friday night flag

[Chorus]

A G D

And oh the heart will wander

A G D

Beyond that wild blue yonder

A G Bm A Em

When I get lost in the noise like a whisper I hear the voice of the boy

G D G

Oh from Illinois

[Verse 2]

I remember the first time

I saw that name on the marquee sign

D G

Lights so bright could almost make you blind

I'd get lost in

Sweet girls singin' along

Buses rollin' on in the silver dawn

D G

Seein' the world a long, long way from home

[Chorus]

A G D

And oh the heart will wander

A G D

Beyond that wild blue yonder

A G Bm A Em

When I get lost in the noise like a whisper I hear the voice of the boy

Oh oh oh

[Bridge]

It's water through my blood

It's the place I got my roots

It's the fire that's in my soul

C Em

It's the mud that's on my boots

D G D G

Oooh Illinois

[Chorus]

A G D

And oh the heart will wander

A G D

Beyond that wild blue yonder

A G Bm A Em

When I get lost in the noise like a whisper I hear the voice of the boy

G D G

Oh from Illinois

From Illinois

Oh oh oh from Illinois

G D

Takes me back to Illinois

(Take me home)

D G

(I come from the heart of the Heartland)
