(Verse)
For a (D)hundred some odd years, her familyfs worked those same odd fields
Raised their (D)kids and grandkids right there on that land (A)
Saw the (D)storms flood their ground, watched their crops die in the drouth
Stared the (D)great depression down, and never ran (A)
(Pre-Chorus)
But now theyfre (Bm)looking at one hell of a (G)fight
Trying to (Bm)save the family name from a rich manfs (G)bottom line (A)
(Chorus)
Ya think you (D)own something
But you donft (A)own nothing
When the government (Bm)man comes around
Puts his dirty old (G)boots on your ground
Laughs at your (D)protest
With a gun and a (A)bullet proof vest
He donft (Bm)care what ya have to say
Hefs just gonna (G)do it anyway
(Bridge)
Hefll (Em)smile and grin and then (D/F#)take your farm a-(G)way
And hefll (Em)tear it all to (D/F#)hell right in your (G)face
Nah, the (Em)devil ainft got (D/F#)nothing on the TV-(G)A
(G) Got nothing on the TV-(Bm)A / / / (G) / (A) /
(Verse)
If you (D)wonft bend the knee, hefll call his (G)personal arm-(D)y
Then hefll (G)survey all your (D)trees and cut em (A)down
If you (D)try to stand and fight, hefll re-(G)mind you hefs Go-(Dl)iath
And youfre (G)nothing but a (D)David in his (A)eyes
(Pre-Chorus)
He donft (Em)care about your life and liberty (G)

(Chorus)
Ya think you (D)own something
But you donft (A)own nothing
When the government (Bm)man comes around
Puts his dirty old (G)boots on your ground
Laughs at your (D)protest
With a gun and a (A)bullet proof vest
He donft (Bm)care what ya have to say
Hefs just gonna (G)do it anyway
(Bridge)
Hefll (Em)smile and grin and then (D/F#)take your farm a-(G)way
