        D              G   D       Em
    My soul is in the mountain, my heart is in the land,
         G                A                D
    I'm lost here in the city, there's so much I don't understand.
             D          G  D     Em                     G      A    D
    There's quiet desperation          coming over me, coming over me.

             A              G           D
I've got to leave I can't stay another day,
            A          G              D
there's an emptiness        inside of me.
         A        G              D   A
I can't bear the loneliness out here,
                 A7               G
there's another place I've got to be,
                          D
another place I've got to be.

    I long for you, Dakota, the smell of sweet grass on the plain,
       G             A             D
    I see too much meanness and I feel too much pain.
             D          G  D     Em                     G      A    D
    There's quiet desperation          coming over me, coming over me.

             A              G           D
I've got to leave I can't stay another day,
            A          G              D
there's an emptiness        inside of me.
         A        G              D   A
I can't bear the loneliness out here,
                 A7               G
there's another place I've got to be,
                          D
another place I've got to be.
