None of them
In My Next Life
By Merle Haggard
Tabbed by Matellmon
C F G7 C G7
C F
THE BLOOD RED SUN BEAT DOWN AND BAKED THE RED CLAY GROUND
G7 C
DUST KICKED UP AROUND HIS JOHN DEERE WHEELS
F
NO TRACE OF RAIN IN SIGHT AGAIN HE'LL LOSE THE FIGHT
G7 C
AND HAVE TO WATCH HIS CROPS DIE IN THE FIELDS
F
THEY STOOD THERE BOTH IN TEARS,HIS WIFE OF MANY YEARS
G7 C
SAID JOHN YOU KNOW I HATE TO LOSE OUR FARM
F
HE LOOKED INTO HER EYES THEN LOOKED UP AT THE SKIES
G7 C G7
AND TOLD HER AS HE HELD HER IN HIS ARMS
C F
IN MY NEXT LIFE I WANT TO BE YOUR HERO
G7 C G7
SOMETHING BETTER THAN I TURNED OUT TO BE
C C7 F
I'VE LIVED THIS LIFE BEHIND THE PLOUGH AND HAY ROW
G7 C F G7
IN MY NEXT LIFE I'LL MAKE YOU PROUD OF ME
C F
THE MUSCLES IN HIS ARMS JUST LIKE HIS RUN DOWN FARM
G7 C
SOON WITHERED AND SLOWLY DISAPPEARED
F
ONE HARD WORKIN' MAN, TWO HARD WORKIN' HANDS
G7 C G7
WERE GIVIN' UP AFTER ALL THESE YEARS
C F
HIS AGING EYES GREW DIM AND THE LADY THAT WORSHIPPED HIM
G7 C
SAT CRYIN' ON A CHAIR BESIDE HIS BED
F
HER HANDS CARESSED HIS BROW AND SHE SAID IT'S ALRIGHT NOW
G7 C G7
AND AS HE SLOWLY SLIPPED AWAY HE SAID
C F
IN MY NEXT LIFE I WANT TO BE YOUR HERO
G7 C G7
SOMETHING BETTER THAN I TURNED OUT TO BE
C C7 F
I'VE LIVED THIS LIFE BEHIND THE PLOUGH AND HAY ROW
G7 C F G7
IN MY NEXT LIFE I'LL MAKE YOU PROUD OF ME
