B.W. Stevenson - Heart of the country

I was raised to know ^Fright from wrong I was ^Ctaught old glo^Gry song And I ^Cfought for her far a^Fway from here To come ^Chome,^G where I be^Clong

Now you tell me farmers can't ^Fraise their grain It ^Ccost too much, but war does ^Gnot We must ^Cchange our way o^Ff thinking Or we'll ^Close ^Geverything we'^Cve got

We are the ^G7heart of the ^Ccountry ^G7 The backbone a^Cnd the shield With^Fout food to feed our ^Cfamilies We are standing on a^Gnother battle^Amfield ^{F C}

Bitter tears swell in his ^Fangry eyes Worked ^Chard to make a life for his ^Gfamily Now it's ^Chard just ^Fto survive Makes you ^Cwonder ^Gif we're really ^Cfree

We are the ^G7heart of the ^Ccountry ^G7 The backbone a^Cnd the shield Without ^Ffood to feed our ^Cfamilies We are standing on a^Gnother battle^Amfield

We are the ^G7heart of the ^Ccountry ^G7 The backbone a^Cnd the shield Without ^Ffood to feed our ^Cfamilies We'll be bagged and balled and ^Gsold and ^Amsealed ^CStanding on a^Gnother battle^Amfield ^{F C}
