All I Can Do Is Write About It

Intro 2x: G D Em C

           G              D    Em             C
Well this life that I've lead has took me everywhere
  G                D              C
There ain't no place I ain't never gone
        G                D             Em            C
But its kind of like the saying that you heard so many times
            G        D             C    G D Em C
Well there just ain't no place like home
         G       D         Em         C
Did you ever see a she-gator protect her young
     G         D             C
Or a fish in a river swimming free
        G          D            Em           C
Did you ever see the beauty of the hills of Carolina
          G         D               C
Or the sweetness of the grass in Tennessee
    G             D        C
And Lord I can't make any changes
 G               D              C
All I can do is write 'em in a song
G              D     Em       C
I can see the concrete slowly creepin'
G                D               C
Lord take me and mine before that comes

(  G D Em C )  (2x)

        G            D               C
Do you like to see a mountain stream a-flowin'
        G            D             C
Do you like to see a youngun with his dog
        G             D                  Em          C
Did you ever stop to think about, well, the air your breathin'
         G           D       C
Well you better listen to my song

     G            D        C
And Lord I can't make any changes

Lord take me and mine before that comes

( A E D )  (4x)

G                 D               C
I'm not tryin' to put down no big cities
         G                D                C
But the things they write about us is just a bore
      G                  D         Em      C
Well you can take a boy out of ol' Dixieland
            G             D            C
But you'll never take ol' Dixie from a boy

And Lord I can't make any changes
 G               D             C
All I can do is write 'em in a song

I can see the concrete slowly creepin'
G                 D               C
Lord take me and mine before that comes

       G             D    Em        C
'Cause I can see the concrete slowly creepin'
 G               D                C
Lord take me and mine before that comes
