Jack Ingram - Great Divide

      
 
 "Great Divide"
 
 Someone tabbed this before the hack, I forget who,
 but I learned it from their original tab.
 
 Capo II (place it upside down over the bottom 5 strings,
 leaving the top low E string uncapoed. Hammer on with
 your index finger on the G string when you're playing
 a D chord in the verses.
 
 
 D                                        
 They still listen to high school football
        F#m                
 On the radio in West Texas
 Bm                           
 The lights still shine bright
       A           
 Every Friday Night
                   D               
 And you can drive 90 miles an hour
          F#m                           
 Down the highway straight through Sisco
 Bm                                 A            
 The cops are at the ball game, its gettin' tight
 
         G                       
 And the sky gets wider and wider
 D/F#                      
 You disappear like the day
 Em A D (pick up tempo)
 Into the Great Divide you fade away
 
 D                              
 It's another world all together
        F#m                    
 In the middle of God's country
         Bm                                  A               
 Smells like money, smells like s**t, yea it smells like hell
 
 But when the cattle's all together
         F#m                      
 And the pump-jacks all are movin'
         Bm                   
 And the cotton's all in bloom
                    A           
 And it smells like nothin' else
 
         G                       
 And the sky gets wider and wider
 D/F#                     
 Just like a brand new day
 Em                  A              D 
 Out in the Great Divide you fade away
 
 
          G      D/F#   Em    
 It's the land--- of my people
 A                                G      A        D  
 Dreamers come out here to find a bigger piece of sky
             G     D/F#             Em     
 It's all the winners--- and all the losers
           A       G         A       D 
 Real good people, just like you and I
 
 D                                    
 Yeah but nothin's really changed much
        F#m            
 As you drive down I-20
 Bm                             A    
 Mexicans still work out in the field
     D                
 And everybody's dirty
            F#m                         
 Man, their all just a bunch of gamblers
     Bm                  A                    
 And some got rich, but they're gamblers still
 
         G                       
 And the sky gets wider and wider
 D/F#                     
 Today's gonna be your day
 Em                 A                 
 Out in the Great Divide you fade away
 
 
          G      D/F#   Em    
 It's the land--- of my people
 A                                G      A        D  
 Dreamers come out here to find a bigger piece of sky
             G     D/F#             Em     
 It's all the winners--- and all the losers
           A       G         A       D 
 Real good people, just like you and I
 
 
 D                                        
 They still listen to high school football
        F#m                
 On the radio in West Texas
 Bm                           
 The lights still shine bright
       A5
