(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, (C)sir, I donft know if you ever would
But (F)I built houses and neighborhoodsstyle='font-size:1px;color:#ffffff;'>
And I was (C)wondering if youfd ever want to sell your farm (F)style='font-size:1px;color:#ffffff;'>
 
(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 said (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 hands (G)
Where I raised my (C)babies a piece of me
Nah, this (F)ainft just a piece of (G)land
The moneyfd be (Am)great
But I canft part (G)ways with a life that (F)works
You canft (Am)put a greenback (G)dollar on what itfs (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fd (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ft just a piece of (G)land
The moneyfd be (Am)great
But I canft part (G)ways with a life that (F)works
You canft (Am)put a greenback (G)dollar on what itfs (F) worth
This is my (C) dirt (F) (G)

(Break)
This is where (Am)five generations have preyed for rain
Theyfll (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ft just a piece of (G)land
The moneyfd be (Am)great
But I canft part (G)ways with a life that (F)works
You canft (Am)put a greenback (G)dollar on what itfs (F) worth
And this is my (C) dirt (F)

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