From The Ground Up

[Verse 1]
Am                 F                    C
  It's been a long time coming, but I'm going back to my roots
         Am           F                  C
Born and raised in southern Oregon, dirt poor with nothing to lose
  Am                  F
I learned about faith and working hard
   C
It saved my life, that dairy farm
Am                 F              C
  Now everywhere I go, I take you with me in my heart, oh


[Chorus]
Am       F       C
  I grew up in a place nobody ever heard of
Am               F            C
  We didn't have much, but we always had each other
Am   F         C    G
  My roots run deep,  and nothing's gonna change me
Am        F
  Bonanza,  you're in my blood
C                                   Am   F     C
 This town built me from the ground up
                         Am  F    C
Built me from the ground up


[Verse 2]
Am                   F      C
  I learned to drive at 11, out by the sugar beets
           Am  F                C
My daddy's 69  brown GMC, stick shift with a bench seat
Am        F                    C
Hotel California, stuck in the tape deck on repeat
    Am              F   C
Now everywhere I go,  I take you there with me


[Chorus]
        Am     F       C
Because I grew up in a place nobody ever heard of
Am               F            C
  We didn't have much, but we always had each other
Am   F         C    G
  My roots run deep,  and nothing's gonna change me
Am        F
  Bonanza,  you're in my blood
C                                   Am   F    C
 This town built me from the ground up
                         Am   F     C
Built me from the ground up


[Bridge]
Am                 F        C
  There's a little cemetery down off of main street
Am                        F                      C
  That's where my momma's buried; that's where I left a big part of me
Am                  F                        C
  Sometimes I get a little choked up, when I think about the past
       Am                         F         C
All my friends that have come and gone, but memories that always last
Am  F      C
      Yeah,  the memories that always last
Am  F      C
      Yeah,  but memories that always last
Am  F         C
      Bo town,  I think about you when I'm lookin' back
Am  F                 C
    My roots run deep,  and I will never be ashamed of that


[Chorus]
Am      F       C
 I grew up in a place nobody ever heard of
Am               F            C
  We didn't have much, but we always had each other
Am   F         C    G
  My roots run deep,  and nothing's gonna change me
Am                F
  Bonanza, you're in my blood
C                                   Am   F      C
 This town built me from the ground up
                         Am   F      C
Built me from the ground up
