[Intro]
C    Am   F   C
 
 
[Verse 1]
C
Bare feet, dirty with my jeans on
                                  Am7
T-shirt, ain't worried what I got on
                              F
Could be a sunrise or maybe a sunset view from this ol' truck
C
I come here no matter on what day
C
Doors open, not only on Sunday
Am                              F
When I sit down I'm on time, no matter what time I show up
 
 
[Chorus]
F         C      G       Am
Sometimes I come way out here
   F        C        G
To clear my head and soak up this view
     F                C             G             Am
I've laughed and I've cried, but no matter what I do
F         Dm  C  G N.C.                           C
God hears all my prayers from a tailgate church pew
 
 
[Verse 2]
C
I've sat here with tears and a broken heart
C
Let it go with chords and an old guitar
Am                            F
I've seen a moonrise over the hillside that makes the stars go black
C
And I've waited for good news hoping to hear soon
                                Am
Wondering when that phone might ring
                                F
And I've sat here many of times just to find a place to breathe
 
 
[Chorus]
F         C      G       Am
Sometimes I come way out here
   F        C        G
To clear my head and soak up this view
     F                C             G             Am
I've laughed and I've cried, but no matter what I do
F         Dm  C  G                              Am
God hears all my prayers from a tailgate church pew
 
 
[Bridge]
Am
I've raised my hands
G                    C
I've shouted up Amens
                           G
And I've listened back and heard nothing but the night
Am7                     G
Oh but I've felt a peace
                    F
Pouring down over me
           Dm    C         G
And that's how I know it's right
 
 
[Chorus]
F         C      G       Am
Sometimes I come way out here
   F        C        G
To clear my head and soak up this view
     F                C             G             Am
I've laughed and I've cried, but no matter what I do
       F         Dm  C  G
I know God hears all my prayers
       F         Dm  C  G                              C
I know God hears all my prayers from a tailgate church pew
 
 
[Outro]
C    Am   F
                         C
From a tailgate church pew
     Am   F
Hmmmm
                     C
My tailgate church pew
Am   F   C    Am   F
