[Intro] G C G C G C [Verse] G C G I’ve got plates for purple gas G C G About the only break I catch G C G But I am not the kind of man G C G To blame the dealer on a losing hand G C G Have a lone star in my eye G C G The darker the sky the brighter it shines G C G Pumpjack cheques and baler twine G C G A ton of grit or maybe it’s spite [Chorus] Am And if I weren’t a flatland boy C I’d say I have a hill Am A hill that I will die upon C If the climb don’t get me killed Am if there were such heights around here C For a guy to lay his pride Am Maybe I’d rest before I died C G If I weren’t a flatland boy [Verse] G C G I hammer down, hair straight back G C G The world blurs past, tell me how’s it that G C G My horizon line ‘s static G C G I guess at least it’s a sure bet G C G Was taught to not throw the first fist G C G But if you take a hit - finish that sumbitch G C G In a life having the upper hand’s a myth G C G Your only fighting chance is too stubborn to quit [Chorus] Am And if I weren’t a flatland boy C I’d say I have a hill Am A hill that I will die upon C If the climb don’t get me killed Am if there were such heights around here C For a guy to lay his pride Am Maybe I’d rest before I died C G If I weren’t a flatland boy [Verse] G C G Retired rail ties, 0.9 wire, G C G neighbour kid on the fencing pliers G C G Fargo that turns over fine G C G At 40 below if you cuss it right G C G A sly thumb of Rye sometimes G C G Keep a bottle hid with the Bio-Mycin G C You can dull the edge, you can look ahead Am G But you can’t get there, it goes on forever Am G Oh it just goes on forever Am G You keep your head down, it goes on forever G C G but I’ve got plates for purple gas G C G Oh I’ve got plates for purple gas
