(Verse 1)
My name's (C)John McArthur and I (F)work this (C)dirt
Till they (C)lay me down in it in my (F)one good (C)shirt
I kept my (C)family fed with a (F)mule and a (Am)plow
I'm a (C)whisper in the wind through the (G)pine trees (C)now

(Chorus)
And my blood-(G)line, it bled on this (C)ground
Soon we all (G)find that's where we're (C)bound
And Father (F)Time don't leave anyone (C)out
And when you pass (G)on, what you gonna pass (C)down?

(Verse 2)
I'm (C)Junior McArthur and I (F)join my old (C)man
By (C)way of a bullet in (F)Viet-(C)nam
Left be-(C)hind my woman and my (F)boy named (Am)Jones
(F)Never got to meet him but he's (G)carrying (C)on

(Chorus)
My blood-(G)line that bled on this (C)ground
Soon we all (G)find that's where we're (C)bound
And Father (F)Time don't leave anyone (C)out
And when you pass (G)on, what you gonna pass (C)down?

(Verse 3)
I'm (C)Jones McArthur and I (F)tried like (C)hell
To (C)teach my son why a (F)man don't (C)sell
But he (C)came home from college seeing (F)dollar (Am)signs
Didn't (F)wanna go to work, just (G)wanted me to (C)die

(Verse 4)
And I'm (C)Hunter McArthur and the deal looks good
In (C)eighteen months this'll be a neighborhood
I got a (C)million dollar line I can sign my name (Am)on
But there's a (F)whisper in the pines that's (G)tellin' me (C)don't

(Chorus)
Sayin' my blood-(G)line, it bled on this (C)ground
Soon we all (G)find that's where we're (C)bound
And Father (F)Time don't leave anyone (C)out
And when you pass (G)on, what you gonna pass (C)down?

(Outro.)
And when you pass (G)on, what you gonna pass (F) down?
Gonna pass (F)down?
Gonna pass (F)down?
Gonna pass (F)down? / / /
