Gods Country - Blake Shelton
Capo: Fret 1
Tuning: Standard, E A D G B E
So just a little bit before you play: to make it sound better,
when playing the chord Dsus2, let go of the bottom string (E string).
This will give it some room when you're playing.

[Verse 1]
Right outside
of this one ch
urch town
There's a gold
dirt road to
a whole lot of
nothin'
Got a deed to
the land, but
it ain't my gr
ound
This is God's
country
We pray for ra
in, and thank
Him when it's
fallen
'Cause it brin
gs a grain and
a little bit
of money
We put it back
in the plate
I guess that's
why they call
it God's coun
try
[Chorus]
I saw the ligh
t in the sunri
se
Sittin' back i
n the 40 on th
e muddy rivers
ide
Gettin' baptiz
ed in holy wat
er and shine
With the dogs
runnin'
Saved by the s
ound of the be
en found
Dixie whistled
in the wind,
that'll get yo
u Heaven bound
The devil went
down to Georg
ia, but he did
n't stick arou
nd
This is God's
country
[Verse 2]
We turned the
dirt and worke
d until the we

And then do it
all again
'Cause we're p
roud to be fro
m God's countr

[Bridge]
I don't care w
