Intro
[A] [E] [A]
Verse
From the [A]sky we look so [E]organized and [A]brave
[D]Walls that make up [E]barricades and [A]graves
[F#m]Daddy's little [D]empire built by [A]hand and built by [D]slaves
From the [A]sky we look so [E]organized and [A]brave
In the [A]heat I saw you [E]rising from the [A]dirt
[D]Drunken tears and [E]tugging at your [A]skirt
If [F#m]only you could [D]tell me then what [A]part of you got [D]hurt
In the [A]heat I saw you [E]rising from the [A]dirt
Chorus
[F#m]Take my [A]hand baby we're [D]over [A]land
I know [F#m]flying over [A]water makes you [E]cry
Where's that [F#m]liquor [A]cart?
Maybe we [D]shouldn't [A]start
But[F#m] I can't for the [A]life of me say [E]why
Verse
From the [A]sky to highway [E]straight as it could [A]be
A [D]string pulled tight from [E]home to [A]Tennessee
[F#m]Still somehow these [D]ditches took the [A]better part of [D]me
From the [A]sky to highway [E]straight as it could [A]be
Chorus
[F#m]Take my [A]hand baby we're [D]over [A]land
I know [F#m]flying over [A]water makes you [E]cry
Been in the [F#m]sky so [A]long
Seems like the [D]long way [A]home
But[F#m] I can't for the [A]life of me say [E]why
