CAPO: 3rd FRET
[Intro]
NONE
[Verse]
Gm7I asked the man when Texas ended
CHe said if you're lucky it won't
Gm7I said I gotta gift I gotta get to Fort Smith
C7I was startin' to lose all hope
Gm7The night was young when he pulled out a gun
CAnd the bullet just missed my nose
Gm7I thought I was delivered when I crossed the big river
C7 CThought I knew, But I just didn't know
[Refrain}
G G/C C Gm7I passed over the Ozarks and onto the Ouachitas
G G/C CI skipped from poverty to poverty
Gm7Fenced in in Arkansas
C G CArkansas
[Verse]
Gm7I saw the soybean fields and the flatbed trucks
C7And I watched the concrete creep
Gm7Subdivided shoutin' on a blackrock mountain
C7Sayin' this is how it feels to be free
Gm7I read the scripture on the billboard
7
Prophesying my damnation
Gm7Reaching for his life, preachers on his third wife
C7Out in Branson on a big vacation
[Refrain}
Gm7 G G/C C Gm7 I passed over the Ozarks and onto the Ouachitas
G G/C CI skipped from poverty to poverty
Gm7Fenced in in Arkansas
C G CArkansas
[Verse]
Gm7 C7I saw a nuclear plant homegrown
Gm7And I know it ain't fake 'cause they grew it in a lake
C7That they built just to cool its bones
Gm7And they handed out a lotta badges
CAnd made a lotta energy
Gm7That they fired in a wire across state lines
C7While the state slurps up the fee
Gm7And there's hardly a place that meth ain't
CPlanted a dead white kiss
Gm7You can smell it in the air
You can see it in the chair
C7It's a pretty damn hard to miss
Gm7I saw a law officer shrug his whole body
C7Resigned to an American God
Gm7Say if they wanted to, they'd help themselves
C7Then he put away his bible and he got out a gun
[Refrain}
G G/C C GmI passed over the Ozarks and onto the Ouachitas
G G/C CI skipped from poverty to poverty
Gm7Fenced in in Arkansas
C G CArkansas
[Verse]
Gm7If God lives up in the Rockies
C7If that's where the big man meddles
Gm7Then a lesser being of a lower degree
C CMust've come down there and settled
Gm7I met revelators and archimandrites
CThe big and the belittled
Gm7I reckon all in time deep in my mind
CWe're gonna meet in the middle
[Refrain}
Gm7 G G/C C Gm7 I passed over the Ozarks and onto the Ouachitas
G G/C CI skipped from poverty to poverty
Gm7Fenced in in Arkansas
C G C G CArkansas
[Verse]
Gm7 I can't tell ya where one thing ended
C7And another did occur
Gm7It was new and it was old to me
CIt was more than I could observe
Gm7If what is seein's for the taking
C7 CAnd the taking can be seen
Gm7I'm gonna need your help with the calculations
C7I'm can't tell ya what it all means
[Outro/Refrain}
Gm7 G G/C C Gm7 Passed over the Ozarks and onto the Ouachitas
G G/C CI skipped from poverty to poverty
Gm7Fenced in Arkansas
