Chords for Introducing Dean Brody EPK

_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ [Ab] _ _ _ _ [Eb] _ _
_ _ _ _ My name is Dean Brody.
I grew up in the shadow of the [Ab] Canadian Rocky Mountains, [Bb] just north of Montana.
[Eb]
Where I grew up, country music was [Ab] a big part of my [Bb] life from a [Eb] very young age.
I think the two major [Ab] differences [F] between Canada [Eb] and the United States would be climate, because it is dang [C] cold in Canada,
_ [Ab] and the second would be accent, because we have kind of a different way of saying things.
[Eb] _ _ _
Right now [D] we're sitting on a ranch that I grew up on called Steeples Ranch.
It's about 25 minutes north of the Montana border, and it's right at the [G] base of the Rocky [D] Mountains.
It's just a beautiful spot, just a real neat spot to have grown up on. _
People I grew up with in this area are a lot like my friends that I have down in Tennessee.
People I've met from Oklahoma and [G] Arkansas.
[A] _ [D] I'm just really down to earth.
[G] Love country music and [D] love the country way of life.
Live for the weekend, work hard all week.
Friday and Saturday nights are a big [F] deal.
_ _ _ _ _ My introduction to country music was through [Bb] my dad.
[F] He'd play the radio in the truck, he'd have it on in the shop.
Whenever I'd hang [Bb] out with him, which I loved to do as a kid, he'd [C] have country radio on.
I didn't [Bb] notice it as a kid, but as I got older looking [F] back,
that was a big reason why I think I got into country music.
Sitting in the bed of my truck, _ _ barefoot and cuddled up,
_ _ [Bb] _
_ sipping sweet [F] tea and setting sun.
_ _ Keith Whitley was the [C] first singer I heard, and I was like, man, I sure like [Bb] to,
I wish I could sound [F] like that, and I wish I could sing that kind of music.
I actually remember where I was, [Ebm] we were on a summer vacation and driving in a little hot car,
and we had the three kids in the back, and _ [Eb] I can remember I was on the right side of the car
and listening to that song, I'm Over You by Keith Whitley.
And I just remember it was just an important part of my life, I think, that [Ebm] moment.
And then from there as I got older, I'd listen to Mark Chestnut [Ab] and Alan Jackson, Vince Gill, Dwight Yoakam.
I just, I loved that, I guess it was 90s country, I just really, really got on to that stuff.
_ _ Zombie Genuine, _
_ [Bb] certified dirt [Eb] road scum.
As [Ab] recent as [Bb] last year, [Eb] after trying a stint in [Ab] Nashville with a publishing company,
I actually [Eb] lost my publishing deal.
We came back home and tried to make it by [Cm] living in Canada and going [Bb] back and [Ab] forth to Nashville,
and it looked as though most of the doors were going to be closed [Eb] and we ought to move [Bb] on.
I applied to several [Eb] different places around here, and one [Fm] of them was a coal mine up the valley.
My wife and I came to terms with [Bb] having to deal with not [Eb] chasing the dream [Fm] anymore.
And after we made that decision and come to grips with that,
the next day is actually when [Eb] I got the call from Keith [Ab] Stegall.
He wanted to sign me to Broken Bow [Dbm] Records.
So it [B] was a good day, a very good day for us.
It [A] ain't hard to remember [B] those good old lazy _ [E] days
In the last four years I've written just over 100 songs,
and I think _ probably [A] 75 of them [B] I wrote by myself.
[E] I guess maybe being in Canada and being by myself and not being plugged into the Nashville songwriting machine
kind of forced me to [A] be able to learn how to write by [Dbm] myself.
When I'm [D] not with you, [Gbm] I feel a tug inside my [E] heart _
[Dbm] That's just never [D] satisfied _ _ [Gbm] until I'm where you [D] _ are _
_ [A] Right now we are at the Bull River Inn.
It's the first place that I ever played [D] live.
I actually, probably right where you're standing [A] is where I played live the first time.
It's changed a little [E] bit, I mean, but not much.
The pool table used to be [Db] a little bit [Gbm] farther back, and this used to be the dance [D] floor right here.
The Bull River is [Dbm] a big spot for fly fishing.
It's [D] just probably 30 seconds down the road to the left [Gbm] here.
I started fly fishing probably [E] 10 years ago, [A] and I just love it.
I love getting out, and _ even if [Gbm] I can't catch fish, which happens a lot,
at least [D] I have fun just learning how to get new techniques down.
[Gbm] It's just a neat way of enjoying the [A] scenery _ [E] and, like I said, getting perspective on things.
It's [Abm] invisible
_ _ _ You [E] can't touch it
_ [B] No matter where you go on Earth
You can't [Gb] outrun _ [Ebm] it
[G] It only _ [Abm] exists to pull [E] you in
[B] Until you're where you're meant to [E] _ _ be
_ Yeah, girl, [Abm] our _ _ _ [Gb] love's
[B] A lot [Abm] _ like gravity
_ [E] _ _
And _ _ [B] I'm just never _
_ [Gb] satisfied
Until you're next to [B] me
_ _ [E] _ [Dbm] _ _ _ _ _ [B] _ _ _ _ _
