[Intro]
[D] [G]
?[Verse 1]
[D]I come from the heart of the Heartland
Where pict[G]ures shows where the corn grows
In r[D]ows and rows of summer greens
And w[G]inter snows
[G]And it goes on
[D]Through the crack of the bat
Oh eve[G]rybody rollin' out their welcome mat
And our h[D]ands on our hearts under the stars of the F[G]riday night flag
[Chorus]
And [A]oh the he[G]art will wa[D]nder
Be[A]yond that w[G]ild blue yo[D]nder
When I g[A]et lost in the n[G]oise like a wh[Bm]isper I hear the v[A]oice of the b[Em]oy
O[G]h from Illi[D]nois[G]
[Verse 2]
[D]I remember the first time
I s[G]aw that name on the marquee sign
Li[D]ghts so bright could almost make you bl[G]ind
[G]I'd get lost in
S[D]weet girls singin' along
B[G]uses rollin' on in the silver dawn
S[D]eein' the world a long, long way from h[G]ome
[Chorus]
And [A]oh the he[G]art will wa[D]nder
Be[A]yond that w[G]ild blue yo[D]nder
When I g[A]et lost in the n[G]oise like a wh[Bm]isper I hear the v[A]oice of the b[Em]oy
O[G]h oh oh
[Bridge]
I[Bm]t's water through my blood
I[G]t's the place I got my roots
I[D]t's the fire that's in my soul
I[C]t's the mud that's on my boots[Em]
[D]Oo[G]oh Illi[D]nois[G]
[Chorus]
And [A]oh the he[G]art will wa[D]nder
Be[A]yond that w[G]ild blue yo[D]nder
When I g[A]et lost in the n[G]oise like a wh[Bm]isper I hear the v[A]oice of the b[Em]oy
O[G]h from Illi[D]nois[G]
From I[D]llinois
[D]Oh oh oh from Illinois
[G]Takes me back to Il[D]linois
([G]Take me home)
([D]Take me home)
([G]Take me home)
(I[D] come from the heart of the [G]Heartland)
