(Capo on 2)

Intro.:  |(G)(D)|(G)

From the (G)sky we look so (D)organized and (G) brave
(C)Walls that make up (D)barricades and (G) graves
(Em)Daddy's little (C)empire built by (G)hand and built by (C)slaves
From the (G)sky we look (D)so organized and (G) brave

In the (G)heat I saw you (D)rising from the dirt (G)
(C)Drunken tears and (D)tugging at your (G) skirt
If (Em)only you could (C)tell me then what (G)part of you got (C)hurt
In the (G)heat I saw you (D)rising from the dirt (G)

(Chorus)
(Em)Take my (G)hand, baby we're (C)over (G)land
I know (Em)flying over (G)water makes you (D) cry
Where's that (Em)liquor (G)cart, maybe we (C)shouldn't (G)start
But (Em)I can't for the (G)life of me say (D)why

Inst.:  |(G)(D)|(G) |(Em)(D)|(C)

From the (G)sky the highway's (D)straight as it could be, (G)
A (C)string pulled tight from (D)home to Tennessee (G)
And (Em)still somehow those (C)ditches took a (G)better part of me (C)
From the (G)sky the highway's (D)straight as it could be (G)

(Chorus)
(Em)Take my (G)hand, baby we're (C)over (G)land
I know (Em)flying over (G)water makes you (D) cry
Been in the (Em)sky so (G)long, seems like a (C)long way (G)home
But (Em)I can't for the (G)life of me say (D) why

(Bridge)
Did we (Am)leave our love be-(Em)hind? (Am) (Em)
Did we (Am)leave our love be-(Em)hind? (D)

(Chorus)
(Em)Take my (G)hand, baby we're (C)over (G)land
I know (Em)flying over (G)water makes you (D) cry

But (Em)I can't for the (G)life of me say (D) why
