You take what you need and you leave the rest

Verse 3
Am C/G F Am Dm
Like my father before me I will work the land
Am C/G F Am Dm
And like my brother above me who took a rebel stand
Am F C/G Dm
He was just 18, proud and brave when a Yankee laid him in his grave
Am F
I swear by the mud below my feet
C/G Dm D
You can't raise a Caine back up when he's in defeat
