Oregon

D 8x D I was raised in Oregon by the mountains and the streams Raised by the rugged, the wild and the free G D A And I'm a dreamer of better days to come D I'd be lying if I said said it wasn't a fight Spent many evenings crying through the night G D And we're all searching how to get a life right Em D Oh, you'll never know where life can go A C If you don't let down your fear Em D Oh you'll never find what you're searching for A D Until you learn how, how to set it free D My parents left me when I was really young They left me to deal with the setting of the sun G D A But I held my head high, I said by goodbyes and moved on D My grandparents picked up the pieces where they fell They told me that everyone's got a story to tell G D And we're all searching for somewhere to belong Em D Oh, you'll never know where life can go A C If you don't let down your fear Em D Oh you'll never find what you're searching for A D Until you learn how, how to set it free Em C D Well I once heard a wise man say Em C D That if you want love you gotta give it away Em C D 'Cause it's a hard life, when it comes, we'll sacrifice Em G Bm A And those of you who lose it, find life D Gotta set it free D I was raised in Oregon by the mountains and the streams Raised by the rugged, the wild and the free G D And I'm a dreamer of better days to come
