Intro: A  E  D  A

            A
Whenever my head starts to hurt
                    E
Before it goes from bad to feeling worse
           D
I turn off my phone, I get down low
           A                   E
And put my hand into the dirt


                        A
I try to stop the world from moving so fast
             E
Try to get a grip on where I'm at
          D
To simplify this dizzy life
             A               E
And get my feet in the grass

Chorus:
            A
I'm going back to the earth
            E
I'm going back to the earth
            D
I'm going back to work her
            A
I'm going back to the earth
I'm going back

A - E - D - A
Tu-ru-du-du-du-du-du-du-dudu

               A
The only explanation for a high rise
               E
Must that everybody wants to get high
         D                A                   E
Move on up to a deluxe apartment in the sky


              A
The higher we go, the taller we grow
                  E
We lose sight of our land below
                   D
You can have you place, up in outerspace
         A                               E
Cause my home is where my food is grown

Chorus:
            A
I'm going back to the earth
            E
I'm going back to the earth
            D
I'm going back to work her
            A
I'm going back to the earth


        Gbm
We are animals
          A
We are wild
      D
We started with a motion at the bottom of the ocean
           E                                Db
now its ringing from the tops of the trees


         Gbm
We are animals
        Bm
We are wild
        D                          
And to truly be forgiving we must all get back to living 
         E
with the land in harmony
  

           A
I'm going back to the earth
           E
I'm going back to the earth
I'm going back

A - E - D - A
Tu-ru-du-du-du-du-du-du-dudu


A
I listen to the whistle in the wind
                         E
Its blending in with the song of the birds
                    D
The messages remind me who I am
            A
That I'm a child of the earth


              A
It's where I found spirituality
         E
It's in everything that surrounds me
              D
I can't spell God g-o-d
            A
I spell it n-a-t-u-r-e

Chorus:
            A
I'm going back to the earth
            E
I'm going back to the earth
            D
I'm going back to work her
            A
I'm going back to the earth
I'm going back
