Lee Kernaghan - The Way It Is
This is played on the recording using Dropped-D tuning, but I've tabbed it to
be played in standard. If anyone wants to play in Dropped-D, just ask, and I'll
tab that version too.

***************************************************************************************
It's a [D]plume of dust down an [Dmaj9]old dirt road,
And [G]hanging off the rails at the rodeo.
[D] A back verandah with [Dmaj9]creaking boards,
[G] And the dark rage of a thunderstorm.
[D]The stockman's bar at an [Dmaj9]old bush pub,
[Bm] And chasing mickey's [G]through the scrub.
[D] It's planting seeds and [Dmaj9]praying for rain,
And the [G]red dust running [A]through your veins.
It's just the way it [G]is, it's the way it [D]goes,
When my [G]wheels hit the gravel [A]road it feels like [D]home.
It's the way of [G]life, it's the life I [Bm]live,[G]
And I'm [D]right where I want to [A]be.
That's the way it [D]is.
[D]It's a corrugated [Dmaj9]iron shed
And [G]work boots on a backdoor step.
[D]Scones in the oven and pre[Dmaj9]serves in jars,
[G] Talking prices at the saleyards.
It's [D]long straight roads and [Dmaj9]one horse towns,
And [Bm]sheep dogs bringing the [G]mob around.
[D] It's she'll be right and [Dmaj9]having a go,
It's good [G]on ya mate and [A]what do ya know?
It's just the way it [G]is, it's the way it [D]goes,
When my [G]wheels hit the gravel [A]road it feels like [D]home.
It's the way of [G]life, it's the life I [Bm]live,[G]
And I'm [D]right where I want to [A]be.
That's the way it [D]is.
[D]INST[G]RUME[D]NTAL[G] [A]
[D] It's the eerie still in the [A/Db]grey of dawn,
[G/B] Fields of wheat and [G]rows of corn.
[D]A rusty tank and [A/Db]flaking paint,
[G/B] A weary digger on [G]Anzac Day.
It's the [D]dreamtime land and [A/Db]Uluru,
[Bm] Aborigine [G]didgeridoo.
[D]It's battered hats and [A/Db]calloused hands,
[G] The spirit of a [A]hard won land.
It's just the way it [G]is, it's the way it [D]goes,
When my [G]wheels hit the gravel [A]road it feels like [D]home.
It's the way of [G]life, it's the life I [Bm]live,[G]
And I'm [D]right where I want to [A]be.
A patch of [Em]ground and [Em/F#]you and [A]me.
That's the way it [D]is.
Oh[G]hhh, it's just the way it [D]is.[G]
That's the way it [D]is.[G]
Yeah, that's the way it [D]is.[G] [D]
