[Intro]
Am C D Am
[Verse]
Am 
Right outside of this one church town 
          C 
There's a gold, dirt road to a whole lot of nothin' 
      D 
Got a deed to the land but it ain't my ground 
        Am 
This is God's country 
Am 
We pray for rain, thank him when it's fallin' 
C 
'Cause it brings a grain and a little bit of money 
   D 
We put it back in the plate I guess that's why 
             Am 
They call it God's country
[Chorus]
Am 
I saw the light in the sunrise 
        C 
Sittin' back in the 40 on a muddy riverside 
        D 
Gettin' baptized in holy water and 'shine 
         Am 
With the dogs running 
Am 
Saved by the sound of the been found 
      C 
Dixie whistled in the wind, that'll get you Heaven bound 
    D 
The devil went down to Georgia but he didn't stick around 
        Am 
This is God's country
[Verse]
Am 
We turned the dirt and worked until the week's done 
C 
We take a break and break bread on Sunday 
D 
And then do it all again 'cause we're proud to be 
     Am 
From God's country (Yeah, yeah)
[Chorus]
Am 
I saw the light in the sunrise 
        C 
Sittin' back in the 40 on a muddy riverside 
        D 
Gettin' baptized in holy water and 'shine 
         Am 
With the dogs running 
Am 
Saved by the sound of the been found 
      C 
Dixie whistled in the wind, that'll get you Heaven bound 
    D 
The devil went down to Georgia but he didn't stick around 
        Am 
This is God's country (yeah)
[Solo]
Am C D Am
[Bridge]
Am 
I don't care what my headstone reads 
    C 
And what kind of pine wood box I end up in 
D 
When it's my time, lay me six feet deep 
   Am 
In God's country (Yeah, yeah)
[Chorus]
Am 
I saw the light in the sunrise 
        C 
Sittin' back in the 40 on a muddy riverside 
        D 
Gettin' baptized in holy water and 'shine 
         Am 
With the dogs running 
Am 
Saved by the sound of the been found 
      C 
Dixie whistled in the wind, that'll get you Heaven bound 
    D 
The devil went down to Georgia but he didn't stick around 
        Am 
This is God's country (God's country)
[Chorus]
Am 
I saw the light in the sunrise 
        C 
Sittin' back in the 40 on a muddy riverside 
        D 
Gettin' baptized in holy water and 'shine 
         Am 
With the dogs running 
Am 
Saved by the sound of the been found 
      C 
Dixie whistled in the wind, that'll get you Heaven bound 
    D 
The devil went down to Georgia but he didn't stick around 
        Am 
This is God's country
