(Capo on 1)

(Intro.)
|(C) / / / |(F) / (G)

(Verse)
He had (C)hard work caked on his overalls
(F)Sweat on his neck, chaw in his jaw
When a (C)stranger pulled up and met him outside his barn (F)
He said, sir, (C) I don’t know if you ever would
But (F)I built houses and neighborhoods
And I was (C)wondering if you’d ever want to sell your farm (F)

(Pre-Chorus)
With his (Am)old dog barking and running around
He (G)paused for a second, spit on the ground
(F)Kicked a little gravel, looked down and (Dm)said

(Chorus)
This is my (C)dirt, these are my fields
Where I (F)harvest what I (G)plant
That little pond, (C) I catch bluegill
I built that (F)barn with my two (G)hands
Where I raised my (C)babies a piece of me
Nah this (F)ain’t just a piece of (C)land
The money’d be (Am)great
But I can’t part (G)ways with a life that (F)works
You can’t (Am)put a greenback (G)dollar on what it’s (F) worth
This is my (C) dirt (F) (G)

(Verse)
Great grand-(C)daddy bought it for a hundred and acre
He (F)just got married when he signed the papers
(C)Him and his brothers framed that old farm-(F)-house
 
(Pre-Chorus)
Every (Am)fence post here we put in the ground
(G)Ran the barbwire and pulled the plow
Every (F)last hay bale we baled it
Yeah, I’d (Dm)hate to be the first to sell it

(Chorus)
This is my (C)dirt, these are my fields
Where I (F)harvest what I (G)plant
That little pond, (C) I catch bluegill
I built that (F)barn with my two (G)hands
Where I raised my (C)babies a piece of me
Nah this (F)ain’t just a piece of (G)land
The money’d be (Am)great
But I can’t part (G)ways with a life that (F)works
You can’t (Am)put a greenback (G)dollar on what it’s (F) worth
This is my (C) dirt (F) (G)

(Break)
This is where (Am)five generations have preyed for rain
They’ll (G)cover me in it when the good Lord calls (F) my name (Dm)

(Chorus)
This is my (C)dirt, these are my fields
Where I (F)harvest what I (G)plant
That little pond, (C) I catch bluegill
I built that (F)barn with my two (G)hands
Where I raised my (C)babies a piece of me
Nah this (F)ain’t just a piece of (G)land
The money’d be (Am)great
But I can’t part (G)ways with a life that (F)works
You can’t (Am)put a greenback (G)dollar on what it’s (F) worth
And this is my (C) dirt (F)

(Outro.)
Yeah, (G) this is my (C)dirt 
Yeah, (F) (G) this is my (C)dirt
Where I (F)harvest what I (G)plant
This is my (C)dirt
Where I raise my (F)babies (G)
This is my (C)dirt - - - - -
