	  		Intro: - D 

(verse 1) 
D           D/C 
He gets up before the dawn, 
D/B                 D/Bb             D 
packs a lunch and a thermos full of coffee, 
     D                  D/C 
It's another day in the dusty haze, 
     D/B              D/Bb            D 
it's burnin rays are wearin down his body, 
G 
Diesel's worth the price of gold, 
                                   D 
it's the cheapest grain he's ever sold, 
                      A 
but he's still holdin on, 

         D                  A 
He just takes the tractor another round, 
    Em7             G              - D 
and pulls the plow across the ground, 
      A                Em7 - G 
And sends up another prayer, 
               D                   A 
He says Lord I never complain, I never ask why, 
Em7                   G           - D 
Please don't let my dreams run dry, 
  A           Em7              G      D

(verse 2) 
D           D/C 
That hail storm back in 83' 
D/B                 D/Bb             D 
sure did take a toll on his family, 
	D                  D/C 
He stayed strong and carried on, 
     D/B              D/Bb            D 
just like his dad and grand-dad did before him, 
G 
On his knees every night he prays, 
		              D 
please let my crops and children grow, 
	                        A 
Cause that's all he's ever known,
