CAPO 1ST FRET
STANDARD TUNING
[C] [Am] [F]
VERSE: A FARMER AND [A] TEACHER, [A] HOOKER AND A TEACHER, RIDING ON A MIDNIGHT
BUS,[G] BOUND FOR MEXICO. ONE WAS[C] HEADED FOR VACATION, ONE FOR[Am] HIGHER
EDUCATION, AND[F] TWO OF THEM WERE SEARCHING FOR L[C]OST SOULS.
PRE-CHORUS: THAT[Dm] DRIVER NEVER EVER SAW THE[G] STOP SIGN, AND[Dm] EIGHTEEN WHEELERS
CAN'T STOP ON A[G] DIME.
CHORUS: THERE ARE,[C] THREE WOODEN CROSSES ON THE[Am] RIGHT SIDE OF THE HIGHWAY.
[F]WHY THERE'S NOT FOUR OF THEM,[G] HEAVEN ONLY KNOWS. I GUESS IT'S[C] NOT WHAT YOU
TAKE, WHEN YOU[Am] LEAVE THIS WORLD BEHIND YOU, IT'S[F] WHAT YOU LEAVE BEHIND YOU
WHEN YOU[C] GO.
VERSE: THAT[C] FARMER LEFT A HARVEST, A[Am] HOME AND EIGHTY ACRES. THE[F] FAITH AND
LOVE FOR GROWING THINGS,[G] IN HIS YOUNG SON'S HEART. AND THAT[C] TEACHER LEFT
HER WISDOM,[Am] IN THE MINDS OF LOTS OF CHILDREN,[F] DID HER BEST TO GIVE THEM ALL
[G]BETTER START.
PRE-CHORUS: AND THAT[Dm] PREACHER WHISPERED, CAN'T YOU SEE THE[G] PROMISE LAND' AS
LAY HIS[Dm] BLOOD-STAINED BIBLE IN THAT HOOKERS[G] HANDS.
[CHORUS]
BRIDGE: THAT'S THE[Am] STORY THAT OUR PREACHER TOLD LAST[F] SUNDAY, AS HE[C] HELD HIS
BLOOD-STAINED BIBLE UP,[G] FOR ALL OF US TO SEE. HE SAID BLESS THE[Am] FARMER, AND
TEACHER, AND THAT[F] PREAHCER. WHO GAVE THIS[C] BIBLE TO MY MOMMA, WHO[G] READ IT TO
ME.
[CHORUS 2X]
THERE'S A SMALL LYRIC CHANGE AT END ON THE CHORUS. JUST LISTEN TO THE SONG
AND YOU'LL SEE WHERE I MEAN. HAVE FUN!
