Capo on the 2nd fret
[Intro]
D G D D
[Verse 1]
As Dwe sat on the front porch of that oGld grey house where I was born and raDised
BmStared out at the dusty fields where Gdaddy always worked hard every Dday
I Bmthink it kinda hurt him when I said "GDaddy, there's a lot that I don't knDow
But Bmdon't you ever dream about a lGife where corn don't grDow"
[Verse 2]
DHe just sat there silent Gstaring in his favorite coffee Dcup
I saw the Bmstorm of mixed emotion in his eGyes when he looked Dup
He said "BmSon, I know at your age it Gfeels like this ol' world is turning Dslow
And you Bmthink you'll find the answer to it alGl, where corn don't grDow"
[Chorus]
Hard times are Bmreal, there's dusty Gfields
No matter where you Dgo
You may change your Bmmind, 'cause the weeds are Ghigh
Where corn don't grDow
[Instrumental]
Bm G D D
[Verse 3]
I reDmember feeling guilty when Gdaddy turned and walked back in the hDouse
I was Bmonly seventeen back then but it Gseems like I knew more than I do Dnow
I can't Bmsay he didn't tell me this Gcity life's a hard row to Dhoe
It's Bmfunny how a dream can turn arGound, where corn don't grDow
[Chorus]
Hard times are Bmreal, there's dusty Gfields
No matter where you Dgo
You may change your Bmmind, 'cause the weeds are Ghigh
Where corn don't grDow
You may change your Bmmind, 'cause the weeds are Ghigh
Where corn don't grDow
