Johnny Cooper - Red Dirt Chords

[Intro]
F  Gm  Bb  F  x2

[Verse 1]
        F
Well, I never been to the Great Divide
    Gm
But my journey started when I was just five
 Bb                            F
I don't know why, I don't know why
             F
Somehow I've been to places I've never been
     Gm
And I lived through things I don't understand
      Bb                              F
And I know things I'm not supposed to know
        Gm
But I'm fine with it
           Bb
I just get on with it
              F
'Cause I can't change it

[Verse 2]
         F
They say keep in the flow and you'll never grow old
    Gm
But I've got a story that's yet been told
       Bb                          F
So I'm telling it while I'm living it
              F
See, it's the boys from the past that blazed my path
Gm
Waylon and Willie, Jerry Jeff and the rest
          Bb                                F
It's their blood and sweat that turned this dirt red
        Gm
But I'm fine with it
           Bb
I just get on with it
              F
'Cause I can't change it

[Chorus]
    Bb
The day the red dirt blew through Texas
                                    F                Dm
The voices of a thousand souls fell gently around my shoulders
       F
Like a long lost friend
        Gm
I said "Hello boys, I'm glad you're here
            Bb
But there's work to be done
                F
Grab yourself a chair"

[Verse 3]
   F
So Mike and Cody, I'm calling on you
Gm
Fifty Dollar Blue and Stoney, you too
       Bb                               F
Wade's got his getaway, yeah, and I got mine
         F
We gotta keep it true, we gotta see it through
         Gm
We gotta carry this torch, it'll get us through
          Bb                                    F
Oh, Jason Boland says we gotta do what we gotta do
          Gm
But we're fine with it
            Bb
We just get on with it
                F
'Cause we can't change it

[Chorus]
    Bb
The day the red dirt blew through Texas
                                    F                Dm
The voices of a thousand souls fell gently around my shoulders
       F
Like a long lost friend
        Gm
I said "Hello boys, I'm glad you're here
            Bb
But there's work to be done
                   F
So grab yourself a chair"

[Instrumental]
F  Gm  Bb  F  x4

[Verse 4]
           F
They say, "Keep in the flow and you never grow old"
    Gm
But I've got a story that's yet been told
       Bb                          F
So I'm telling it while I'm living it
             F

          Bb                                F

        Gm
But I'm fine with it
           Bb
I just get on with it
               F
'Cause I can't change it, no, no, no

[Chorus 2]
    Bb
The day the red dirt blew through Texas
                                       F               Dm
I cried a thousand tears for those who came before and those
               F
Who soon to follow
        Gm
I said "Hello boys, I'm glad you're here
            Bb
But there's work to be done
                   F
So grab yourself a chair"

[Chorus 3]
    Bb
The day the red dirt blew through Texas
                                   F            Dm
The voices of a thousand exes sang out to me in harmonies
             F
Like I never heard before
         Gm
I said, "Hello girls, I'm glad you're here
            Bb
But there's work to be done
                            F
Could you bring us one more beer"

[Tag]
        F
Well, I never been to the Great Divide
    Gm                                   F
But my journey started when I was just five
