Heart Of America by Margo Price
Heart Of America
[Intro]
A
[Verse]
A D A
My sweet mother gets up so early in the morning
E
She turns on the stove and she makes a pot of coffee
A A7 D
My daddy fills his tractor up with diesel to plant the corn
A E A
And that's how it was on the day that I was born
[Verse]
A D A
Well the days they went by and the bins filled up with grain
E
My mother's brother died on a motorcycle in the rain
A A7 D
The town got too big for its britches and the government it came
A E A
And now it will never be the same
[Chorus]
E
No one moves away with no money
They just do what they can
F#m A
To live in the heart of America
E
Getting by on their own two hands
You can pray to anybody's Jesus and be a hardworking man
D
But at the end of the day, if the rain it don't rain
E A
We just do what we can
[Solo]
A A D A
A A E A
[Verse]
A D A
Some time back in eighty-sixwhen big banks took the throne
E
They asked about every local farmer try to dry his own corn
A
But the men in the suits had a bigger plan
A7 D
Than to let it be our own
A E A
When the crops came in that spring, they were blown
A D A
And Neil and Willie tried so hard and battles they have gone
E
But that was still long after the bigger war had been won
A A7 D
No one was there to save the wheat and the cattle at my home
A E A
They took every field my family owned
[Chorus]
E
No one moves away with no money
They just do what they can
F#m A
To live in the heart of America
E
Getting by on their own two hands
You can pray to anybody's Jesus and be a hardworking man
D
But at the end of the day, if the rain it don't rain, if the bank it don't break
E A
We just do what we can
E A
You just do what you can
[Outro]
A A D A
