To do the Intro chords and the end of the chorus,

Best to use barre chords and it’s almost a slide to

The G.

Intro:

F G F G F G F G

G F G

Livin’ right the way we see it though it’s seldom seen

G F G

Bleeding from our hands just to grease the machine

G F G

Sometimes there ain’t jack to do in this town

G

Go out and let the cops chase you around

D

This ain’t New York, this ain’t LA

Cadd9 F G

It’s somewhere in the middle of the USA

There’s no greener grass as far as I can see

When the man’s tired of giving you the first degree

No better place to string up some fence

To tear down the walls and to knock out the dents

If the only thing working is an 8 hour day

Is somewhere in the middle of the USA

Chorus:

D

Somewhere in the middle somewhere in between

G

The center of the fringes of a rebels dream

D

No other place I’d rather be found

G

It’s probably where they’ll plant me in the ground

D

Some people leave but most of them stay

Cadd9 F G

In the middle of the USA

People workin’ for the kitty, trying to buy ‘em a hound

It slipped and got away, now it’s back at the pound

Everything we’re doin is already done

Now some pissed off kids are gonna have some fun

Bite our tongue, there’s nothing to say

Somewhere in the middle of the USA

There’s no need to fix it, if it ain’t broke

They preach the perfect life and it’s a dirty joke

And we all know it’s just a roll of the dice

They try to sell it to you but they won’t say the price

This ain’t New York, this ain’t LA

It’s somewhere in the middle of the USA
