[Verse]
A
I was born
E E C#m/E
Where the prairie meets the sky
F#m A/E
Where the black hills shined
D
And the bison died
A
An ancient breed
E
Fertile soil
E C#m/E
And a feral seed
F#m A/E D
I need my chains to feel free
D E
I need my chains to feel free
A E E C#m/E
F#m A/E D D G#dim/D
A
Hand me down
E E C#m/E
Those dirty clothes
F#m A/E
Play my mother's song
D D G#dim/D
On the radio
You will find me there
Beneath the porch
When the wind is right
No need for howling
All the time
[Chorus]
Bm
And in my dream
E
The chase is short
E C#m/E
And the meal's long
F#m A/E
The ice is gone
D
And my legs are strong
Bm
A new river runs
E
Through the brush and the grass
E C#m/E
Where my family was
A C#m/G# F#m F#m A/E
I've never seen a morning like this one
D E
I've never seen a morning like this one
[Verse]
Sacred plains
Oil fields
The hunt will always
End in blood
My only prey
Those angry quills
My thirst is answered
With a flood
[Chorus]
When they see my face
They won't even need to ask
What I'm running for
I been a couple towns over
Once before
...
... born again
In a high school gym
Lay the ink down deep
In my Dakota skin
... Bridge?
[Chorus]
I never knew
Somebody'd break the rules
For me
Until I'm standing tall
On those hotel sheets
And the dream that comes
Is the sun on the gorge
And the bridge is up
I've never seen a morning like this one
I've never seen a morning like this one
I've gone to that city
Where the water runs mighty
And the wind is calm
You've never seen a morning like this one
