INTRO


           F#m                 A
There's an old John Deere underneath a tree,
D(add9)
500 acres, my dad and me.
F#m                A
Worked this land until we hurt,
D(add9)                                  F#m   A  D(add9)
Trying to make a living out of plain old dirt.


        F#m                     A
Well he didn't say nothin' when momma left,
  D(add9)
Just kept his feelings to himself.
    F#m                 A
His pride was hurt, his heart was broke,
   D(add9)
He sits and he rolls another smoke
     E                   D
Said: Son, this is all I know.
E                         D
 And I guess it goes to show.
   Esus
He said:


        A               E
We were born to survive outback life,
Bm             D
Generations of toil and strife.
A         E              D 
 We don't know any other way.
         A              E
When the sun beats down so damn hard,
    Bm                D
Its 40 degrees in the holdin' yard.
      A         E
Got a 303 and a 4 wheel drive,
D                                   F#m  A  D(add9)
Livin' out here, we were born to survive.
           F#m  A  D(add9)
Born to survive.


       F#m                 A
Well a friend of mine named Willy Grace,
D(add9)
Held an auction at his old place.
F#m                      A
 The crowd gathered at a quarter to three,
    D(add9)
And walked away with his memories but:
E                            D
 Something keeps him hanging on,
E                       D
 Even when all hope was gone.
          Esus
He'd say:


        A               E
We were born to survive outback life,
Bm             D
Generations of toil and strife.
A         E              D 
 We don't know any other way.
         A              E
When the sun beats down so damn hard,
    Bm                D
Its 40 degrees in the holdin' yard.
      A         E
Got a 303 and a 4 wheel drive,
D                                   E
Livin' out here, we were born to survive.
