The Promised Land

[Verse 1]

      G                           Em               C
On a rattlesnake speedway in the Utah desert    I pick up my money
                    G                                 Em
and head back into town  Driving cross the Waynesboro county line
          C                              G
I got the radio on and I'm just killing time
 Em                   G                Em                       Am
Working all day in my daddy's garage   Driving all night chasing some 
mirage
 C                             D7
Pretty soon little girl I'm gonna take charge


[Chorus]

      G                                  C     G                 Em
The dogs on Main Street howl `cause they understand  If I could 
       C
take one moment
         G                             C     G      Em     C      
into my hands Mister I ain't a boy no I'm a man And I believe in a
           G
 promised land


[Verse 2]

G                        Em                      C
I've done my best to live the right way   I get up every morning
                    G                                     Em
and go to work each day   But your eyes go blind and your blood runs 
cold
             C                             G     Em                  
Sometimes I feel so weak I just want to explode  Explode and tear this 
 G
town apart

  Em                            Am              C                   
Take a knife and cut this pain from my heart  Find somebody itching 
        D7
for something
                                                                       
 to start

[Chorus]

      G                                  C     G                 Em
The dogs on Main Street howl `cause they understand  If I could 
       C
take one moment
         G                             C     G      Em     C      
into my hands Mister I ain't a boy no I'm a man And I believe in a
           G

[Verse 3]

          G                            Em                       C
There's a dark cloud rising from the desert floor   I packed my bags
                                   G                              
and I'm heading straight into the storm Gonna be a twister to blow 
   Em
everything down
            C                          G      Em                       
 G    apart
That ain't got the faith to stand its ground Blow away the dreams that 
tear you
 Em                        G               Em                      Am  
   nothing
Blow away the dreams that break your heart Blow away the lies that 
leave you
     C              D7
But lost and brokenhearted

[Chorus]

      G                                  C     G                 Em
The dogs on Main Street howl `cause they understand  If I could 
       C
take one moment
         G                             C     G      Em     C      
into my hands Mister I ain't a boy no I'm a man And I believe in a
           G
 promised land

[Outro]

    Em     C                 G         Em     C                 G
And I believe in a promised land   And I believe in a promised land
