Chords for The Red Clay Strays & Zach Top - Where Corn Don't Grow (cover)

_ _ _ _ _ _ I'd like to play y'all a song now.
_ It's the only song that, uh,
when I hear it every single time, I think of my father.
And he's here with us tonight.
I'm not sure where he's at.
But this song reminds me of my dad every time I hear it,
because we listen to it all the time as kids.
Oh, there he is.
Hey, Dad.
Hey, Papa.
[D] _ _ Daddy. _
[D#] But I'd like to play that song for you now,
and I'd like to give Mr.
Zach Topp out to help me sing it,
if that's all right with y'all.
_ _ _ _ _ _ [A#] _
_ _ _ _ [D] _ _ _ _
_ _ [Fm] _ _ _ _ [A] _ _
_ [D] I'll be honest with y'all.
I said this last night, too,
and I'll say it today.
I did not want to follow him.
[A] I really didn't.
This guy's a pro.
He knows every single song.
He's great at guitar.
He's got a great voice.
Man, he's a whole package, I tell ya.
_ _ _ _ Thank you, baby. _ _

[E] _ _ _ As we sat on the front porch
Of that old gray house where I was born and raised _ _
_ _ _ _ [C#m] Staring out the dusty fields
[A] Where my daddy worked hard [E] every day _
_ _ _ _ I [C#m] think it kind of hurts
When [A] I say, Daddy, [E] there's a lot that I [E] don't know
But _ _ _ [C#m] don't you ever dream about [A] a life
Where corn don't [E] grow _
_ _ _ _ _ He just sat there sighing
[A] Staring at his favorite [E] coffee cup _
_ _ _ _ I [C#m] saw a storm of mixed emotion [A] in his eyes
When he [E] looked up, _ _ _ _ _ [C#m] he said, son, I know it's your day
[A] Seems like this whole world is [E] running slow
And _ _ [C#m] you think you'll find the answer [A] to it all
Where corn [E] don't grow _
_ _ _ _ For [C#m] times are real
There's [A] dusty fields no matter [E] where you go
You _ [E] _ may [C#m] change your mind
Because [A] the weeds of life
Where corn [E] don't grow
_ _ _ _ _ _ [C#m] _ _
_ _ [A] _ _ _ _ [E] _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ [C#m] _ _
_ _ [A] _ _ _ _ [E] _ _
_ _ _ _ _ I remember feeling [A] guilty
When Daddy turned and walked [E] back in the house
_ _ _ _ I [C#m] was only 17 [A] back then
But I thought that I knew more
[E] But I know now
_ _ _ _ [C#m] I can't say he didn't warn [A] me
This city lives a hard [E] road to _ _ home
_ [C#m] Ain't it funny how a dream can [A] turn around
Where corn don't [E] grow
_ _ _ For times [C#m] are real
[A] There's dusty fields [E] no matter where you go
_ _ _ You may [C#m] change your mind
Son, [A] the weeds are high
Where corn don't [E] grow
_ _ _ _ _ _ [C#m] _
Man, the [A] weeds are high
Where corn [E] don't grow
Where _ _ _ _ _ [C#m] _ _
_ _ [A] _ _ _ _ [E] corn don't _ grow
_ [C#m] _ _
_ _ [A] _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ [E] _ _ Thank you.
_ _ _ _ _ _ [Em] _ _
_ I don't [F#] even want to sing anymore. _ _ _
_ I'll be honest with you all.
I'll be a little vulnerable with you.
I didn't want to follow him.
I didn't want to, man.
That boy's good.
