Intro

[C]

Verse 1

[C]Daddy said they ain't making no more of it[C/B]
I said that's [Am]fine with me 'cause I'm tired of workin' on it
[F]Soon as I can I'm outta here, I don't [C]love it like you do
Am G G*
Well, son, I know just how you feel, I used to feel the same way too

Chorus

Till I learned [C]dirt [C/B]turns to [Am]gold
You [F]gotta be patient, son, it happens [G]slow
It'll [C]take some blood, sweat and [C/B]tears
[Am]More than a few hard workin' years
I [F]know it's hard to see [F/E]that far down the [Dm]road
F G* C
Aw, but dirt turns to gold

Verse 2

Well, I [C]saved enough to move into that city[C/B]
Where the [Am]lights shine bright at night and the girls are pretty
Aw, but [F]some nights I can't sleep a wink, for the [C]sirens and the horns
And I [Am]miss crickets, whippoorwills and the [G]peaceful sounds of home

Chorus

Now I know [C]dirt [C/B]turns to [Am]gold
I [F]washed it off but it stayed down in my [G]soul
And there's this [C]girl I met, says she'd like to [C/B]see
The [Am]place that means so much to me
She [F]wants to feel that [F/E]feelin' that I [Dm]know
Back where [F]dirt[G] turns to [C]gold

Instrumental

[C]

Bridge

So I [Dm]took her back home for a long weekend
She'd [Em]never seen nothin' like County Road Ten
[Dm]I rolled all those windows down
And [C]pointed out my ol' stompin' grounds
[Dm]After supper at Mom and Dad's
[Em]Swingin' in the swing, hand in hand
[Dm]Watchin' the sun sinkin' out of sight
G G7*
She said I could get used to this life

Chorus

Out where [C]dirt [C/B]turns to [Am]gold
On a [F]piece of heaven down some country [G]road
There's [C]space out here for us to [C/B]breathe
To [Am]build a home and plant some seeds
[F]Sit on the porch and [F/E]watch our children [Dm]grow
That's where [F]dirt[G] turns to [C]gold

Outro

Yeah, [F]dirt[G] turns to [C]gold
[C]
