Take Em Away Tab

by Old Crow Medicine Show


100% correct.
Capo on 7th fret. 

You can figure out the picking its not that hard, but it sounds just fine strumming the chords.




                                               
Take em away  Take em away Lord,  Take away these chains from me.

                                                                 
My heart is broken cause my spirits not free,  Lord take away these chains 

from me.

                                             
Some bird feathers are too bright to be caged, I know i'm not that

          
colorful, but a bird just the same.

                                             
Open up your gate now let me put down my load, so i can feel at ease and
             
go back to my home.


CHORUS

                                           
Sun beatin' down my legs cant seem to stand, theres a boss man at a turnrow

       
with a rifle in his hand.

                                            
I've got nine children, nothin' in the pan. My wife she died hungry while i 

           
was plowin' land.


CHORUS

                                                   
Cant see when i go to work, cant see when i get off. How do you expect a man


not to get lost.

                                                                       
Every year i just keep getting deeper in debt, if theres a happy day Lord

                 
I havent seen one yet.


CHORUS

                                                     
Land that i love is the land that i'm workin', but its hard to love it all

                   
the time when your back is a hurtin'.

                                                                  
Gettin' too old now to push this here plow, let me lay down so i can look at

    
the clouds.


CHORUS

                                                   
The land that i know is where to rivers collide, the Brazos, the Navaso and

            
the big blue sky.


                             
Flood plains, freight trains, watermelon vines 

                                                           
Of any place on God’s green earth, this is where I choose to die
