Broken Tie

G G7 G C G D G G I was born in the heart of the country G7 In a town in the middle of the land C G I grew up in a second city D G Since I left my home I’ve been travellin’ back. G To a time when a family tried to stay together G7 Back to the time when a love survived C G When a woman and a man built a home forever D G And they tied a knot for the rest of their lives. G G7 G C G D G G My brother’s gone to New York City G7 And I find myself in a corner of the west C G My mom and daddy left their home and each other D G Ten miles apart, more apart than the rest. G G7 G C G D G G G7 G C G D G G I’m singing songs of the poor and the homeless G7 I’m singing songs of a love that died C G But my saddest song is the song of a family D G A million miles apart with a broken tie.
