	D	G
	Take 'em away, take '	em away Lord!

	D	A
	Take away these chains from m	e!

	D	G
	My heart is broken 'cos my spirit's not	free,

	D	A
	Lord, take away these chains from me!

Verse 1:

	D	G
	Some birds' feathers are too bright to be caged

	D	A
	I know I'm not that colourful, but a bird just the same

	D	G
	Open up your gate now, let me put down my load

	D	A
	So I can feel at ease and go back to my home	.

Sun beatinâ down, my legs canât seem to stand

Thereâs a boss man at a turnrow with a rifle in his hand

Iâve got nine child, nothinâ in the pan

My wife she died hungry while I was plowinâ land

(Chorus)

Canât see when I go to work, canât see when I get off

How do you expect a man not to get lost

Every year I just keep getting deeper in debt

If thereâs a happy day, Lord, I havenât seen one yet

(Chorus)

Land that I love is the land that Iâm workinâ

But itâs hard to love it all the time when your back is a-hurtinâ

Gettinâ too old now to push this here plow

Please let me lay down so I can look at the clouds

(Chorus)

Land that I know is where two rivers collide

The Brazos the Navaso and the big blue sky

Flood plains, freight trains, watermelon vines

Of any place on Godâs green earth, this is where I choose to die

(Chorus)
