INTRO: E Esus4 E Esus4 (2x)

E Esus4 E

There's a piece or prairie with a white picket gate

E Esus4 E

The geographic center of the lower forty-eight

A E

How long it's been in our family is anybody's guess

B Bsus4 B

We were ridin' these plains

B Bsus4 B

Before the Pony Express

There's a sycamore tree all splintered and brown

Well it used to touch the sky 'til the twister came around

It's got this one green branch pointin' in the air

Yeah it's still hangin' on

Just like the people 'round here

CHORUS:

E A B

You can hold back the rain, bring on the wind

E A B

Knock us right down, we'll get up again

C#m C#m A B

We dug in deep, made our stand

E

This is our homeland

INTRO

I can feel their spirit deep in my bones

Up on the hill we carved it in stone

Been a long line before us and little ones to come

Yeah it's a family thing

That we're carryin' on

CHORUS

SOLO: E A B

E A B

C#m C#m A B

We dug in deep, we made our stand

N/C E A B

This our home....

E A B

This is our homeland

E A B

This is our homeland

E A B

This is our homeland
