[Intro]
Am Am x2
[Verse 1]
Am F C
This year in my garden, I grow peppers and tomatoes
F C G Em
Peppers and tomatoes, they grow together well
And my neighbors all around me, they grow beans and potatoes
F C G Em Am
Cabbages and onions in the village where we dwell
[Verse 2]
And later in the year, we will bring wine to the table
F C G Em
Bring wine to the table and reap what we have sown
Like my father did before and his father did before him
And his father did before him, we will share what we have grown
[Chorus]
Am F F Em
Em F G N.C.
I can wash the dust from off my face and skin
But this earth is in my bones
[Verse 3]
Am F C
Military vehicles are passing through our village
F C G Em
Passing through our village with young soldiers ill at ease
Unsmiling and unshaven, distrustful and uncertain
Distrustful and uncertain and all smoking constantly
[Verse 4]
My neighbors say, "Don't worry for you are one of us
You are one of us and it will not happen here"
But the next night at the cafe, when I bring wine to the table
When I bring wine to the table, they are sitting drinking beer
[Verse 5]
Last night the hand of friendship fell heavy on my shoulders
F C G Em
Heavy on my shoulders as I turned away to go
As I said goodnight some old men, some old men and young soldiers
Were humming tunes and singing words to songs that I did not know
[Chorus]
Am F F Em
Em F G N.C.
I can wash the dust from off my face and skin
But this earth is in my bones
[Verse 6]
This morning my wife told me that she'd been to church on Sunday
F C G Em
Been to church on Sunday, she had felt the need to pray
Our children were baptised there, but it was just to please the old ones
Just to please the old ones and I don't know what to say
[Verse 7]
Tonight as dark is falling, I am tending to my garden
F C G Em
Tending to my garden and the crop that I have grown
My car is heavy laden and soon I'll start the engine
F C G Em Am
Soon I'll start the engine, wake the children and be gone
[Chorus]
Am F F Em
Em F G N.C.
I can wash the dust from off my face and skin
But this earth is in my bones
[Verse 8]
My shotgun it is loaded and it's hidden in the cabin
It's hidden in the cabin and the evening's growing chill
My mouth is dry, my hands are moist, if someone tries to stop me
If someone tries to stop me, I am ready now to kill
[Chorus]
Am F F Em
Em F G N.C.
I can wash the dust from off my face and skin
But this earth is in my bones
[Verse 9]
I am watering my garden when I smell the cigarette smoke
F C G Em
Smell the cigarette smoke and I turn round in the dust
And I see the glint of rifles but I cannot see the faces
But I recognise the voices that say, "You must come with us"
