    C                           F 
The Blood Red Sun Beat Down And Baked The Red Clay Ground
G7                                   C     
Dust Kicked Up Around His John Deere Wheels
                            F
No Trace Of Rain In Sight A-gain He'll Lose The Fight
    G7                                 C
And Have To Watch His Crops Die In The Fields

                                       F
They Stood There Both In Tears --- His Wife Of Many Years
     G7                               C
Said John You Know I Hate To Lose Our Farm

He Looked Into Her Eyes Then Looked Up At The Skies
    G7                             C     G7
And Told Her As He Held Her In His Arms

      C                           F
In My Next Life I Want To Be Your Hero

Somethin'  Better Than I Turned Out To Be

I've Lived This Life Behind The Plough And Hay Row

In My Next Life I'll Make You Proud Of Me

    C                        F
The Muscles In His Arms Just Like His Run Down Farm
     G7                        C 
Soon Withered And Slowly Disap-peared
                           F
One Hard Workin' Man  ---  Two Hard Workin' Hands
     G7                        C      G7
Were Givin' Up After All These Years

    C                           F
His Aging Eyes Grew Dim And The Lady That Worshipped Him
    G7                           C
Sat Cryin' On A Chair Beside His Bed
                                    F
Her Hands Caressed His Brow And She Said It's Alright Now
    G7                           C      G7
And As He Slowly Slipped Away He Said


      C                           F
In My Next Life I Want To Be Your Hero
         G7                            C     G7
Somethin'  Better Than I Turned Out To Be
           C                    C7         F 
I've Lived This Life Behind The Plough And Hay Row
      G7                               C   A7
In My Next Life I'll Make You Proud Of Me

In My Next Life I Want To Be Your Hero
         A7                            D     A7
Somethin'  Better Than I Turned Out To Be
           D                    D7         G 
I've Lived This Life Behind The Plough And Hay Row
      A7                               D
In My Next Life I'll Make You Proud Of Me
