Capo 3
[Intro]
Am G Em F F x2
(there are some hammer on’s happening during the Am and G…hitting the A string 3rd fret
and then the B string 1st fret. Listen to the song to get the rythem and notes right. Its kind of a C
sound)
[Verse 1]
(slower tempo)
AmThe waters white, Gthe air is thin
EmThe mood is envy, Fit’s in everything
AmThe ground is cold, Gthe tree is young
EmThe blade is heavy, Fbut you still swing
FYou still swing…
[Chorus]
F C C (hammer down on the G string)
I’m not going back to the old country
FAnd I know that you don’t want Amme G
AmThe past is yellow
GThe heart is blue
EmYou try to break me
FBut I conquer you……cFonquer you.
[Interlude]
(up tempo)
Am G Em F F riff
[Verse 2]
(up tempo)
AmI was little, Gbut I was great
EmYou were the church, Fthat abused my faith
AmI never prayed, Gdown on my knees
EmI faced my judgment, Fstanding on my feet…
FOn my feet.
[Chorus]
F C C (hammer down on the G string)
I’m not going back to the old country
Fknowing you don’t want Amme G
AmThe past is yellow
GThe heart is blue
EmYou try to break me
FBut I conquer you……coFnquer you.
[Interlude]
(up tempo)
Am G Em F F riff
[Bridge]
CAnd as I sail around the woGrld
Like a king with a silver rAming
I was banned from JericFho
CI was saved by a giGrl
that came in like the wiAmnd
From the Gulf of Fmaj7Mexico……ohhhhh Mexico.
[Solo]

AmThe future passed, and so did fGear
EmWho I am now, was never tFhere… F
