Em
   I’ll make my papa proud
One day I will somehow
C         G
  Mother says I’m strong
C         G
  I’m the oldest one
Em
  Papa’s tough as nails

He works the farm every day and
C         G
 One day I will too
C               G
 But first I’ll finish school

[Chorus]
Am                C
  Oeh, oeh, oeh, oeh,
                      G
The fields don’t even notice, the trees don’t seem to care
Am                C
  Oeh, oeh, oeh, oeh,
                 G
The pages of my story, written in the dirt
C                       Em x2
Written in the dirt

[Verse]
Em
  Papa told me true
                                C
One day this will all belong to you
         G
Mother’s proud of me
C              G
  I’ll run the company
Em
  Met this girl at school
Her friends are really cool, she’s
C            G
  Opened her heart to me
C            G
  It must be nice to be

[Chorus]
Am                C
  Oeh, oeh, oeh, oeh
                          G
The fields don’t seem to notice, the trees don’t even care
Am                C
  Oeh, oeh, oeh, oeh
                G
The pages of my story, written in the dirt
C                          Em x2
Written in the dirt

  I’ll make my papa proud
C (1 strum)                   G
 One day I will somehow

[Chorus]
Am               C
  Oeh, oeh, oeh, oeh
                       G
The cows don’t seem to notice, the cows
            Am
don’t even care
                C
Oeh, oeh, oeh, oeh
                G
The pages of my story, written in the dirt
Em
Written in the dirt
