My name is Robbie Trujillo and this channel is all about helping you become a better guitar player and learn how to play your favorite country songs on guitar.
So thanks for being here today and learning another one with me.
Today I'm going to show you how to play Where Corn Don't Grow by Waylon Jennings.
We're going to be playing this one with the capo on the second fret, so let's go ahead and get started here. _ _
_ _ _ [E] Alright, three chord country song for you guys today.
The chords we're going to be playing here are D, _ G, [A] _ _
and [C#m] B minor.
_ [E] And for the intro we're just going to be playing the D chord and the G chord, so here's what that sounds like. _ _ _ _
[A] _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ So the strumming pattern is down, down, down, up, down, up.
_ _ _ _ _ [A] _
_ _ _ _ _ [E] _ _ _
Down, down, down, up, down, up.
_ First verse starts here on the D chord.
As we sat on the fawncourt, that old grey house where I was born and raised. _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ [C#m]
Stared out at the dust [A] field where daddy always worked hard every [E] day.
_ _ I _ _ _ [C#m] think it kind of hurt him when [A] I said, daddy, there's a lot that I [E] don't know.
Don't _ _
_ _ _ _ _ [C#m] you ever dream of that [A] life where corn don't [E] grow. _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _
Okay, and when we're playing this D chord, we can play it with the normal D major and then we [F#] can also leave the first string open.
So I'm changing that up a little bit if you want to add a little bit into your strumming.
So _ _ _ _ _ _ _ [B] you can just do a hammer on and you can just [E] also hammer on from the open to the second fret or you can just [B] play it with the first string open.
Alright, let's play through the second verse here.
He just sat there silent, [A] staring in his baby coffee cup. _ _
_ _ _ _ Saw a [C#m] storm of mixed emotions in [A] his eyes.
_ And [E] he looked up.
_ _ [B] _ _ _ _ [C#m] Said, son, I know what you're in.
[A] Feels like this old world is turning [E] slow.
_ _ _ _ [F#] _ _
[C#m] Think you'll find the answer [A] to it all.
Where corn don't [E] grow.
_ _ _ Okay, and [A#] then our chorus is going to start on the B minor chord.
Hard [C#m] times are real.
_ There's [A] dusty fields no matter where [E] you go.
_ _ _ _ _ You may change [C#m] your mind.
_ _ [A] Sweep your pie.
Where corn don't [E] grow. _ _ _ _
[Bm] Then we just have one more verse [E] and then a final chorus.
So let's go ahead and play through the full thing.
Play along with me here.
Down, down, down, up, down, up.
Strumming pattern starting on the intro.
_ _ _ _ [A] _ _ _ _
_ [E] _ _ _ _ _ _ _
As we sat on the front porch of [A] that old gray house where I was born [E] and raised. _ _ _ _ _
_ _ [C#m] Stared out at the dusty [A] field where daddy, he always worked hard every [E] day. _ _ _ _
_ _ [C#m] I think it kind of hurt him [A] when I said, daddy, there's a lot that I [E] don't know. _ _
_ _ [B] _ _ [C#m] Don't you ever dream [A] about a life where corn don't [E] grow. _ _
[B] _ _ _ [E] _ He just sat there silent, [A] staring in his favorite cog. _ _ _
_ _ _ [B] I [C#m] saw a storm of mixed emotions [A] in his eyes.
And he looked [E] up. _
_ _ _ _ _ [C#m] Son, I know what you're in.
[A] Feels like this old world is turning slow.
_ _ _ _ _ [C#m] I think you'll find the answer to [A] it all.
