 Intro: E A E C#m A
 
 E
 Flatter than a tabletop
 A
 Makes you wonder why they stopped here
 E               C#m                  A
 Wagon must have lost a wheel or they lacked ambition one
 E
 On the great migration west
 A
 Separated from the rest
 E                      C#m
 Though they might have tried their best
      A
 They never caught the sun
 
         B
 So they sunk some roots down in the dirt
    A
 To keep from blowin' off the earth
 B
 Built a town around here
              A                B
 And when the dust had all but cleared
                E              A              B
 They called it Levelland, the pride of man
    E           A    B
 In Levelland
 
 E
 Granddad grew the dryland wheat
 A
 Stood on his own two feet
 E            C#m                 A
 His mind got incomplete and they put in the home
 E
 Daddy's cotton grows so high
 A
 Sucks the water table dry
 E                  C#m
 Rolling sprinklers circle round
 A
 Bleedin' it to the bone
       B
 And I won't be here when it comes a day
    A
 It all dries up and blows away
     B
 I'd hang around just to see
          A              B             E
 But they never had much use for me in Levelland
            A          B         E          A     B
 They don't understand me out in Levelland
 
       A                      C#m             B             E
 And I watch those jet trails carving up that big blue sky
 A        C#m                     B
 Coast to coasters watch 'em go
       A                     C#m
 And I never would blame 'em one damn bit
         B                    E
 If they never looked down on this
 A        C#m               B
 Not much here they'd wanna know
      E
 Just Levelland
                A                 B
 Far as you can point your hand
             E          A   B
 Nothin' but Levelland
 
 (Solo)  A C#m B E A C#m B A C#m B E A C#m B
 
 E
 Mama used to roll her hair
 A
 Back before the central air
 E           C#m                A
 We'd sit outside and watch the stars at night
 E
 She'd tell me to make a wish
 A
 I'd wish we both could fly
 E                 C#m
 Don't think she's seen the sky
 A
 Since we got the satellite dish and
 E
 I can hear the marching band
 A
 Doin' the best they can
                  E            C#m      A
 They're playing "Smoke on the Water", "Joy to the World"
 E
 I've paid off all my debts
 A
 Got some change left over yet and I'm
 E            C#m
 Gettin' on a whisper jet
           A                   B
 I'm gonna fly as far as I can get from
 E                    A            B
 Levelland, doin' the best I can
        E                   A      B
 Out in Levelland - imagine that
