[Intro]
D F G
[Verse 1]
DRight outside of this one church town
There's aF gold dirt road to a whole lot of nothin'
GGot a deed to the land, but itF ain't my ground
This is DGod's country
DWe pray for rain, and thank Him when it's fallen
F'Cause it brings a grain and a little bit of money
GWe put it back in the plate
I guess that's why they call itD God's country
[Chorus]
DI saw the light in the sunrise
Sittin'F back in the 40 on the muddy riverside
Gettin' Gbaptized in holy water and shineF
With thDe dogs runnin'
DSaved by the sound of the been found
DixieF whistled in the wind, that'll get you Heaven bound
The dGevil went down to Georgia, buFt he didn't stick around
This isD God's country
[Verse 2]
DWe turned the dirt and worked until the week's done
We tFake a break and break bread on Sunday
And then Gdo it all again
'Cause we'Fre proud to be from DGod's country (Yeah, yeah)
[Chorus]
DI saw the light in the sunrise
Sittin' Fback in the 40 on the muddy riverside
Gettin'G baptized in holy water and Fshine
With theD dogs runnin'
DSaved by the sound of the been found
DixieF whistled in the wind, that'll get you Heaven bound
The Gdevil went down to Georgia but heF didn't stick around
This is DGod's country (Yeah)

FOr what kind of pine wood box I end up in
WGhen it's my time, lay me sFix feet deep
In GDod's country (Yeah, yeah)
[Chorus]
DI saw the light in the sunrise
SittiFn' back in the 40 on the muddy riverside
GettinG' baptized in holy water andF shine
With the doDgs runnin'
SDaved by the sound of the been found
Dixie Fwhistled in the wind, that'll get you Heaven bound
The deGvil went down to Georgia but he Fdidn't stick around
This isD God's country (God's country)
Yeah, DI saw the light in the sunrise
Sittin'F back in the 40 on the muddy riverside
Gettin'G baptized in holy water andF shine
With theD dogs runnin'

Dixie wFhistled in the wind, that'll get you Heaven bound
The devGil went down to Georgia but he dFidn't stick around
This is DGod's country
I based this version off of an acoustic cover by HARDY who wrote the song, I will include a video link below
if you need help with the chord shapes. The drop d tuning just makes it sound so much bigger and badass.
