[Intro]
| Csus4 | Cm | Eb | F |
| Cm |
[Verse 1]
Cm
Right outside of this one church town
Eb
There's a gold dirt road to a whole lot of nothin'
F
Got a deed to the land,
but it ain't my ground
Cm
This is God's country
We pray for rain,
and thank Him when it's fallen
Eb
'Cause it brings a grain and a little bit of money
F
We put it back in the plate
Cm
I guess that's why they call it God's country
[Chorus]
Cm
I saw the light in the sunrise
Eb
Sittin' back in the fourty on the muddy riverside
F
Gettin' baptized in holy water and shine
Cm
With the dogs runnin'
Saved by the sound of the been found
Eb
Dixie whistled in the wind,
that'll get you Heaven bound
F
The devil went down to Georgia,
but he didn't stick around
Cm
This is God's country
[Verse 2]
Cm
We turned the dirt and worked until the week's done
Eb
We take a break and break bread on Sunday
F
And then do it all again
Cm
'Cause we're proud to be from God's country
[Chorus]
Cm
I saw the light in the sunrise
Eb
Sittin' back in the fourty on the muddy riverside
F
Gettin' baptized in holy water and shine
Cm
With the dogs runnin'
Saved by the sound of the been found
Eb
Dixie whistled in the wind,
that'll get you Heaven bound
F
The devil went down to Georgia,
but he didn't stick around
Cm
This is God's country
[Solo]
Cm Eb F Cm
God's country
[Verse 3]
Cm
I don't care what my headstone reads
Eb
Or what kind of pine wood box I end up in
F
When it's my time, lay me six feet deep
Cm
In God's country
[Chorus]
Cm
I saw the light in the sunrise
Eb
Sittin' back in the fourty on the muddy riverside
F
Gettin' baptized in holy water and shine
Cm
With the dogs runnin'
Saved by the sound of the been found
Eb
Dixie whistled in the wind,
that'll get you Heaven bound
