Deep Red Dirt

Intro: C



           C       Am
There are men in white coats
         G                 F
holding clipboards biting pens.
           C         Am
There are mouths in news rooms
         G                F
moving excitedly for the lens.
G
the lens...




         C              F
And it's only a lesson long
            C                    F                   G
before the deep red dirt starts pulling pulling you home
            Am        C                        F
But you're fighting, fighting for where you belong
            G                   Am G
And that's pushing, pushing you on.
    F          C
You on, you on.

            C         Am
There are ghosts in black suits
         G              F
making choices for the rest.
       C         Am
While piles of blueprints
       G                 F
are being passed over your head.
      G
your head...



          C             F
And it's only a lesson long
            C                    F                   G
before the deep red dirt starts pulling pulling you home.
            Am        C                       F
But you're fighting fighting for where you belong.

Oh the air is electric with promises you never wanted.

         C        Am
All the veins of silvery oil
   G                          F
under the soil are running through you.
