[C] [F] [G7] [C] [G7]
THE [C]BLOOD RED SUN BEAT DOWN AND [F]BAKED THE RED CLAY GROUND
[G7]DUST KICKED UP AROUND HIS JOHN DEERE [C]WHEELS
NO TRACE OF RAIN IN SIGHT A[F]GAIN HE'LL LOSE THE FIGHT
AND [G7]HAVE TO WATCH HIS CROPS DIE IN THE [C]FIELDS
THEY STOOD THERE BOTH IN TEARS,HIS [F]WIFE OF MANY YEARS
SAID [G7]JOHN YOU KNOW I HATE TO LOSE OUR [C]FARM
HE LOOKED INTO HER EYES THEN [F]LOOKED UP AT THE SKIES
AND [G7]TOLD HER AS HE HELD HER IN HIS [C]ARMS[G7]
IN MY [C]NEXT LIFE I WANT TO BE YOUR [F]HERO
SOMETHI[G7]NG BETTER THAN I TURNED OUT T[C]O BE[G7]
I'VE LIVED [C]THIS LIFE BEHIND THE [C7]PLOUGH AND [F]HAY ROW
IN MY [G7]NEXT LIFE I'LL MAKE YOU PROUD OF [C]ME[F] [G7]
THE [C]MUSCLES IN HIS ARMS JUST [F]LIKE HIS RUN DOWN FARM
SOON [G7]WITHERED AND SLOWLY DISAP[C]PEARED
ONE HARD WORKIN' MAN, [F]TWO HARD WORKIN' HANDS
WERE [G7]GIVIN' UP AFTER ALL THESE [C]YEARS[G7]
HIS [C]AGING EYES GREW DIM AND THE [F]LADY THAT WORSHIPPED HIM
SAT [G7]CRYIN' ON A CHAIR BESIDE HIS [C]BED
HER HANDS CARESSED HIS BROW AND SHE [F]SAID IT'S ALRIGHT NOW
AND [G7]AS HE SLOWLY SLIPPED AWAY HE [C]SAID[G7]
IN MY [C]NEXT LIFE I WANT TO BE YOUR [F]HERO
SOMETHI[G7]NG BETTER THAN I TURNED OUT T[C]O BE[G7]
I'VE LIVED [C]THIS LIFE BEHIND THE [C7]PLOUGH AND [F]HAY ROW
IN MY [G7]NEXT LIFE I'LL MAKE YOU PROUD OF [C]ME[F] [G7]
Key change
IN MY [D]NEXT LIFE I WANT TO BE YOUR [G]HERO
SOMETHIN'[A7] BETTER THAN I TURNED OUT TO [D]BE[A7]
I'VE LIVED [D]THIS LIFE BEHIND THE [D7]PLOUGH AND [G]HAY ROW
IN MY [A7]NEXT LIFE I'LL MAKE YOU PROUD OF [D]ME
IN MY [A7]NEXT LIFE I'LL MAKE YOU PROUD OF [D]ME
