[Intro]
C    C    F    F    G7    G7    C    G7
[Verse]
    C                           F
The Blood Red Sun Beat Down And Baked The Red Clay Ground
G7                                   C
Dust Kicked Up Around His John Deere Wheels
                            F
No Trace Of Rain In Sight A-gain He'll Lose The Fight
    G7                                 C
And Have To Watch His Crops Die In The Fields
                                    F
They Stood There Both In Tears, His Wife Of Many Years
     G7                               C
Said John You Know I Hate To Lose Our Farm
                             F
He Looked Into Her Eyes Then Looked Up At The Skies
    G7                             C     G7
And Told Her As He Held Her In His Arms
[Chorus]
      C                           F
In My Next Life I Want To Be Your Hero
         G7                            C     G7
Somethin'  Better Than I Turned Out To Be
           C                    C7         F
I've Lived This Life Behind The Plough And Harrow
      G7                               C   C   F   F   G7   G7
In My Next Life I'll Make You Proud Of Me
[Verse]
    C                        F
The Muscles In His Arms Just Like His Run Down Farm
     G7                        C
Soon Withered And Slowly Disap-peared
                      F
One Hard Workin' Man, Two Hard Workin' Hands
     G7                        C      G7
Were Givin' Up After All These Years
    C                           F
His Aging Eyes Grew Dim And The Lady That Worshipped Him
    G7                           C
Sat Cryin' On A Chair Beside His Bed
                                    F
Her Hands Caressed His Brow And She Said It's Alright Now
    G7                           C      G7
And As He Slowly Slipped Away He Said
[Chorus]
      C                           F
In My Next Life I Want To Be Your Hero
         G7                            C     G7
Somethin'  Better Than I Turned Out To Be
           C                    C7         F
I've Lived This Life Behind The Plough And Harrow

In My Next Life I'll Make You Proud Of Me

In My Next Life I Want To Be Your Hero

Somethin'  Better Than I Turned Out To Be
           D                    D7         G
I've Lived This Life Behind The Plough And Hay Row
      A7                               D
In My Next Life I'll Make You Proud Of Me
