Montgomery John Michael - Good Ground guitar tab
Intro: (G) (G) (C) (D) (G) (G) (C) (G) [PLAY TWICE]
After (G) driving all night Daddy stopped the car
Said, (D/F#) "Wake up kids, here we are
This is (C) our new home" (D)
From that (G) Oldsmobile all I could see
Was an (D/F#) ocean of fields out in front of me
It (C) just rolled on, on and on (D)
(Em) Daddy crossed the (D/F#) fence and he knelt (C) down
(Em) Filled his hands with (D/F#) rich farmland and (C) said
(No Chord) "This is good ground"
I (G) had it all underneath my feet
There was (D/F#) room to grow - there was time to breathe
And (Em) dreams stretched high under (D) summer skies
This is (G) where I'm from - this is who I am
(D/F#) Down these roads I became a man
And they're (Em) calling me - where my (D) roots run deep
(G/B) Deep (C) down - (D) this is good ground
(G) (G) (C) (D) (G) (G) (C) (G)
(G) Mama had me diggin' in her flower bed
(D/F#) There it was an arrowhead
And all I (C) wanted to be, was Cherokee (D)
(G) Seasons change and childhood goes
(D/F#) I laid down my homemade bow for a (C) brown-eyed girl
She changed my world (D)
(Em) I learned to (D/F#) drive so we could (C) ride around
(Em) We made the (D/F#) sweetest memor(C)ies in it
(No Chord) On good ground
I (G) had it all underneath my feet
There was (D/F#) room to grow - there was time to breathe
And (Em) dreams stretched high under (D) summer skies
This is (G) where I'm from - this is who I am
(D/F#) Down these roads I became a man
And they're (Em) calling me where my (D) roots run deep
(G/B) Deep (C) down - (D) this is good ground
I (G) drove all night then I stopped the car
Said, (D/F#) "Wake up kids, here we are
This is (C) our new home
It's been too long" (D)
(G) Crossed that fence and I knelt down
Said, (D/F#) "Everybody gather 'round
(C) Hold out your hands, (No Chord) this is good ground"
You've (G) got it all underneath your feet
There's (D/F#) room to grow - there's time to breathe
And (Em) dreams stretch high under (D) summer skies
This is (G) where I'm from - this is who I am
(D/F#) Down these roads I became a man
And they're (Em) calling me where my (D) roots run deep
(G/B) Deep (C) down - (D) this is good ground
