Heart Of The Country

C

[Verse]

                     F
I was raised to know right from wrong
      C             G
I was taught old glory song
      C                   F
And I fought for her far away from here
        C    G          C
To come home, where I belong

[Verse]

                              F
Now you tell me farmers can't raise their grain
   C                           G
It cost too much, but war does not
        C               F
We must change our way of thinking
         C    G             C
Or we'll lose everything we've got

[Chorus]

           G7           C         G7
We are the heart of the country
              C
The backbone and the shield
    F                    C
Without food to feed our families
                    G            Am     F   C
We are standing on another battlefield

[Verse]

                          F
Bitter tears swell in his angry eyes
       C                           G
Worked hard to make a life for his family
         C         F
Now it's hard just to survive
          C      G               C
Makes you wonder if we're really free

[Chorus]

           G7           C         G7
We are the heart of the country
              C
The backbone and the shield
        F                C
Without food to feed our families
                    G            Am
We are standing on another battlefield

[Chorus]

           G7           C         G7
We are the heart of the country
              C
The backbone and the shield
        F                C
Without food to feed our families
                               G        Am
We'll be bagged and balled and sold and sealed
C            G            Am     F   C
Standing on another battlefield
