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

ek's done

We take a brea

k and break br

ead on Sunday
         
And then do it

'Cause we're p

              
roud to be fro
