Heart Of My Country

 G D G - G D G

[Verse]

 G                           C
When I was a child I heard music
 G                                     D
And I knew that it was coming from me too
 G                                        C
Now everywhere I go I hear some kind of music
 G                        D              G
I don't know where it's coming from, do you?

 G                                   C
And I used to sit by the dim radio window
 G                              D
Waiting for the magic hour to start
 G                                 C
You can take the heart out of my country
 G                    D                G
You can't take the country out of my heart

 G                                            C
Well there comes a time when we all have to travel
 G                                 D
Some to look for home and some to hide
 G                                             C
There was a war at home and a war across the ocean
 G              D               G
Families were split from the inside

 G                                             C
And we stood there holding hands, signs and candles
 G                                    D
But soon enough our hands all had to part
 G                                    C
You can take the heart out of this country
 G                        D                  G
But you can't take the country out of your heart

 G                                         C
Well, it's more than cities, fields and mountains
 G                                   D
More than a place to view the firmament
 G                                     C
And everyday I want to thank all the angels
 G                        D                    G
That it's more than its congress and its president

 G                                   C
And I long to hear the music of its choir
 G                                        D
When everyone shall stand and sing their part
 G                                 C
And we can keep the heart in our country
 G                     D             G
And we can keep the country in our heart
 G                     D             G
And we can keep the country in our heart
