Shadows Of The Heartland

G C Verse One: G Sittin in the shade made by a hay truck on a hot day A cloud of dust on an old dirt road meant lemonade was on the way C G She was beautiful, and her daddy said that I made a good hand D C We laid there on the ground as the sun went down G On the shadows of the heartland Verse Two: G I helped her daddy fix up his old beat-up red Ford pick-up I had her shinin' like a diamond, he said climb behind the wheel son C G She was beautiful, said take her slow as he placed the keys in my hand D C G And dancin' in the headlights that night, shadows of the heartland Chorus: D C Heaven can't be far away from the fields of gold where I was raised G Where the sun shines bright but the light comes from the word D Where you know you reap the seeds you sow C You count your blessings row by row G And sweat and blood and tears and love still work Em D C The life I live the love I give the man I am G Shadows of the heartland Verse Three: G Friday night lights shining bright the last game of the season We were just one play away from being undefeated C G The pass was beautiful, but somehow that ball slipped right through my hands D C She was there to hold me close when it turned cold G In the shadows of the heartland Chorus: D C Heaven can't be far away from the fields of gold where I was raised G Where the sun shines bright but the light comes from the word D Where you know you reap the seeds you sow C You count your blessings row by row G And sweat and blood and tears and love still work Em D C The life I live the love I give the man I am G D Em c Shadows of the heartland D Em C G Amazing grace and a place to plow D Em C That's what her dad was all about Em C Wish he was with us now Chorus: D C Heaven can't be far away from the fields of gold where I was raised G Where the sun shines bright but the light comes from the word D Where you know you reap the seeds you sow C You count your blessings row by row G And sweat and blood and tears and love still work Em D C The life I live the love I give the man I am G Shadows of the heartland
