Mohr Copyright June 29, 2005 ____________________________________________________________________________________________________ {Intro:} Em A D - A Em D A D I've been livin' here since the day I was conceived A Em D My daddy lived his whole life here b'fore me D A D My grandpa came and settled this here lot Em A D He told me so back when I was still a tot {Bridge:} Em A Now they say we live in freedom, have the right to speak and choose Em C D But the only time you're really free is when they take it all from you {Chorus:} Em A D There're takin' all my land out from under me Em A D But it ain't for the betterment of society G C D Em Some business men who paid off the right jury & judge G D A D Made it legal for them to take my land from me D A D I've been livin' my simple life for oh so long now A Em D I've grown old and now my row is tough to hoe D A D I sell my boiled peanuts on my lot just off the road Em A Em A D But you'd better hurry down my friends they're comin' for my soul D A D Now I've got nowhere to go and rest my tired bones A Em D And the cash they put into my hands was really an insult D A D And while I spend my final days livin' in my poverty Em A Em A D The law is on their side to steal my land from me Em A Now they say we live in freedom, have the right to speak and choose Em C D But the only time you're really free is when they take it all from you {Solo:} Em A D Em A D G C D Em G D A D D A D When the founding fathers wrote the words of this land A Em D They said it was by, for and of the people's hand D A D Somewhere someone must've given those words a twitch Em A Em A D What they really meant to say: it's of and by and for the rich! Em A D There're takin' all my land out from under me Em A D But it ain't for the betterment of society G C D Em Some business men who paid off the right jury & judge G D A D Made it legal for them to take my land from me D A D I've been livin' here since the day I was conceived A Em D Feels like I sold my land for a pocket full of beads D A D I sympathize with all you natives because now I see Em A D I can't stop them - there're takin' my land from me Em A I can't stop them - there're takin' my land from me {end quick a cappella}
