Dirt Under His Feet
[Verse 1]
Em
He got too big for his britches
G
Taken by the riches
D Em
He forgot where it all began
Em
There was a time when
G
Farmers, fair and kind men
D Em
Were working for the good of the land
[Chorus 1]
G
I feel like the dirt under his feet
D
Like the grain that’s left out to rot
C
Like the body under the sheet
G D
Or the one that they all forgot
G
I feel like dirt under his nails
D
He just scrapes me away
C
Like the ground under the bales
G D Em
He never even gives me the time of day
[Verse 2]
Em
My grandpa before me
G
And his Grandpa before him
D Em
Been on this land for 150 years
Em
He’s charging more and offering less
G
He doesn’t lose any rest
D
Now we’re stretched so thin and
Em
We’re up to both our ears
[Chorus 2]
G
I don't want to be the dirt under his feet
D
Or the grain that’s left out to rot
C
I want to rise up from under the sheet
G D
At least I have to give it a shot
G
I want to raise my voice and be heard
D
I just need to get up the nerve
C
I could show him what I'm really worth
G D Em
and finally get what I deserve
