[Verse]
            G
Whenever my head starts to hurt
                    D
Before it goes from bad to feeling worse
           C
I turn off my phone, I get down low
           G                   D
And put my hand into the dirt
                        G
I try to stop the world from moving so fast
             D
Try to get a grip on where I'm at
          C
To simplify this dizzy life
             G               D
And get my feet in the grass
 
[Chorus]
            G
I'm going back to the earth
            D
I'm going back to the earth
            C
I'm going back to work her
            G
I'm going back to the earth
I'm going back

[Verse]
               G
The only explanation for a high rise
               D
Must that everybody wants to get high
         C                G                   D
Move on up to a deluxe apartment in the sky
              G
The higher we go, the taller we grow
                  D
We lose sight of our land below
                   C
You can have you place, up in outerspace
         G                               D
Cause my home is where my food is grown
 
[Chorus]
            G
I'm going back to the earth
            D
I'm going back to the earth
            C
I'm going back to work her
            G
I'm going back to the earth
 
[Verse] 
        Em
We are animals
          G
We are wild
      C
We started with a motion at the bottom of the ocean
           D                                B
now its ringing from the tops of the trees
         Em
We are animals
        Am
We are wild
        C                          
And to truly be forgiving we must all get back to living 
         D
with the land in harmony
  
[Chorus] 
           G
I'm going back to the earth
           D
I'm going back to the earth
I'm going back
 
G - D - C - G
Tu-ru-du-du-du-du-du-du-dudu
 
[Verse] 
G
I listen to the whistle in the wind
                         D
Its blending in with the song of the birds
                    C
The messages remind me who I am
            G
That I'm a child of the earth 
              G
It's where I found spirituality
         D
It's in everything that surrounds me
              C
I can't spell God g-o-d
            G
I spell it n-a-t-u-r-e
 
[Chorus/Outro]
            G
I'm going back to the earth
            D
I'm going back to the earth
            C
I'm going back to work her
            G
I'm going back to the earth
I'm going back
G - D - C - G
