C  F G7 C G7  
 
    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 AGAIN 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 
                             F 
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 
       G7                            C     G7 
SOMETHING  BETTER THAN I TURNED OUT TO BE 
           C                    C7         F  
I'VE LIVED THIS LIFE BEHIND THE PLOUGH AND HAY ROW 
      G7                               C      F     G7    
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 DISAPPEARED 
                      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 
SOMETHING  BETTER THAN I TURNED OUT TO BE 
           C                    C7         F  
I'VE LIVED THIS LIFE BEHIND THE PLOUGH AND HAY ROW 
      G7                               C      F     G7    
IN MY NEXT LIFE I'LL MAKE YOU PROUD OF ME
