Chords for Waylon Jennings - "Where Corn Don't Grow" (Live Fan Footage Johnson City, TN 1990 )

_ _ What are y'all doing here? _ _ _
_ [Gm] _ _ Alright. _ _ _
_ _ _ _ [G] _ Might as well take it.
That's as good as I'm gonna look.
_ _ _ It's downhill from here [D] on out.
_ _ Lord have mercy.
You know what?
I've been up in here before.
[F] _ _ I don't [G] know quite where though. _
I've been to Po Valley.
Anybody from Po [G] Valley? _ _ _
_ I was trained to that.
I saw them people look like June Carter.
_ _ _ _ _ [D#] Me and Johnny Cash, we played over there.
We're the only ones that they let us play over to Carter Ford. _
[G] _ _ _ They let us play over there with our [D#] electric instruments
because they said we [A] came plugged in.
_ _ [F] _ _
[N] I don't know what that means exactly. _ _ _
This is great country over here.
[G] You know how I like it?
It is.
_ _ _ _ [G] _ _
I was a kid when I was a kid.
I like country where it's got hills and [E] trees
because I come from West Texas.
Now in West Texas you can see as far as you want to
[E] and don't want [Gm] to. _ _
Because there ain't nothing out there but more West Texas.
_ I just cut a new album for Epic [G] Records. _ _ _ _
_ _ _ [D#] Don't get ridiculous now. _
_ _ [D#] Scare me and I'll tell you everything I know.
[G] _ _
_ _ [D] _ That's nice.
That's old.
Good Lord lady, that's when I was 12.
_ [G] My cord won't reach that far.
_ Seem like I've said that before. _ _
_ _ _ Anyway, I was telling you something here. _
Maybe I can do that when I get through, okay?
Write me up.
I'll holler at you.
_ _ _ _ I got some land down in West Texas that's got a beach on it. _
Just right there by the ocean.
I'll send you some of that too. _
_ No, you holler at me, hun.
I'll be back there.
Anyway, what was I doing?
I'm talking.
I'm going to do you a song for my new album.
It's going to be my next release, I think.
[D#] _ But anyway, every time I sing it I think of when I was pulling
cotton in West Texas.
_ And I did a lot of that.
[D] Until I was about 15 or 16 years old.
One day,
I was out in the middle of that [Gm] thing and it was hotter than this. _
And I didn't have no fan either.
_ And I was looking [A#] out there and I knew
there was a better way of [E] doing things somewhere.
_ [F]
And it wasn't there.
[E] _ So, I also realized that I
hadn't planted that stuff and I ain't sure
[G] wasn't going to pull it up no more. _
_ [B] So, if you're
ever out in West Texas, _
[F#] you go down that cotton patch up there
and go by [E] my side. _ _ _
[A] About half full.
If they think [E] I'm coming
back again, they're going to go crazy. _
_ _ _ _ I sat on the front porch
[A] of that old grey house where I
was born and raised. _ _
_ _ _ _ [C#] Stared out at the
dusty fields where daddy always
worked [E] hard every day. _ _
_ _ _ _ [C#] Think it kind of hurt him
[A] when I said, Daddy, there's a lot
that [E] I don't know. _ _
_ _ _ _ [C#m] Don't you ever dream [A] about a
life where [E] corn don't grow.
He _ _ _ _ _ just sat there
silent, [A] staring at his
big [E] tall head. _ _
_ _ I [C#m] saw a small amount of mixed emotion
[A] in his eyes
when [E] he looked up. _ _
_ _ _ [C#m] He said, Son,
I know it, dear Ray, [A] it seems
like this old world is [E] turning slow. _ _
_ _ _ [C#m] I believe you'll find the answer [A] to love
where corn [E] don't grow. _ _
_ _ Hard [C#m] times are real.
The dusty fields
no matter [E] where you go, _ _
_ you may
[C#m] change your mind
because the [A] weeds are high
where corn [E] don't grow. _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ [D#] _ _ _
[A] _ _ _ _ [E] _ _ _ _
_ _ _ I remember a feeling
when daddy turned and
walked back through the house. _ _
_ _ I [C#m] was only seventeen
back [A] then, seems like I knew
more than I [E] do. _ _ _
_ _ _ _ [C#m] _ I forgot the [A] words.
This old world is turning slow.
[E] _ _
_ _ _ [C#m] I believe you'll find the [A] answer
to love where [E] corn don't grow. _
_ _ _ Hard times [C#m] are real.
[A] The dusty fields no matter
where you go, _ _
_ _ you may change [C#m] your mind
[A] because the weeds are high
where [E] corn don't grow. _ _
_ _ You may change [C#m] your mind
because the weeds [A] are high
where [E] corn don't grow. _ _
