[Intro]
C     G   C

[Verse 1]
C                      
My name's John McArthur 
       F         C
and I work this dirt
Till they lay me down in 
         F        C
it in my one good shirt
I kept my family fed with
   F          Am
 a mule and a plow
I'm a whisper in the wind 
             G          C
through the pine trees now

[Chorus]
            G     
And my bloodline, 
                C
it bled on this ground
            G           C
Soon we all find that's where 
we're bound
           F         
And Father Time don't 
              C
leave anyone out
                  G  
And when you pass on, 
                     C
what you gonna pass down?

[Verse 2]
C                      
I'm Junior McArthur and
   F           C
 I join my old man
                      F   C
By way of a bullet in Vietnam
Left behind my woman and
    F         Am
 my boy named Jones
F                        
Never got to meet him but 
      G        C
he's carrying on

[Chorus]
        G             
My bloodline that bled
         C
 on this ground
            G           C
Soon we all find that's where
 we're bound
           F         
And Father Time don't 
              C
leave anyone out
                  G  
And when you pass on, 
                     C
what you gonna pass down?

[Verse 3]
C                     
I'm Jones McArthur and
   F          C
 I tried like hell
                      F  
To teach my son why a man
       C
 don't sell
But he came home from college
        F      Am
 seeing dollar signs
       F               
Didn't wanna go to work, 
       G            C
just wanted me to die

[Verse 4]
        C
And I'm Hunter McArthur 
and the deal looks good
C
In eighteen months this'll
 be a neighborhood
I got a million dollar line
                     Am
 I can sign my name on
              F             
But there's a whisper in the
              G          C
 pines that's tellin' me don't

[Chorus]
               G   
Sayin' my bloodline, 
                  C
it bled on this ground
            G          
Soon we all find that's 
 C
where we're bound
           F         
And Father Time don't 
              C
leave anyone out
                  G  
And when you pass on, 
                     C
what you gonna pass down?

[Outro]
                  G  
And when you pass on, 
                 F
what you gonna pass down?

Gonna pass down?
F
Gonna pass down?
              C  
Gonna pass down?
  F C    G   C
