Tom: C
C C7 F
There's a home place under fire tonight in the Heartland
C G7 C
And the bankers are taking my home and my land from me
C7 F
There's a big gapping hole in my chest now, where my heart was
G7 C
And a hole in the sky, where God used to be
C C7 F
There's a home place under fire tonight in the Heartland
C G7 C
There's a well where the water's so bitter nobody can't drink
C7 F
And no way to get high and my mouth is so dry that I can't talk
C G7 C
Oh, they know that 'm dying why nobody crying for me
G C
My American dream, fell apart at the seams
G C
You tell me what it means, you tell me what it means
(Instrumental:) C C7 F C G7 C C7 C7 F C G7 C
C C7 F
There's a home place under fire tonight in a Heartland
C G7 C
and bankers are taking the homes and the land away
C C7 F
There's a young boy closing his eyes tonight in a Heartland
C G7 C
who will wake up a man with some land and a loan he can't pay
G C
His American dream, fell apart at the seams
G C
You tell me what it means, you tell me what it means.
(Repeated)
C C7 F
There's a home place under fire tonight in a Heartland
(Instrumental:) C G7 C G7 C G7 C G7 C G7 C (Fade out)
