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
