The Farmer's Song

	  		

Intro: A   A6   A   A6   A   A6   A   A6 

A          A6          A            A6 
Dusty old farmer out workin' your fields 
         A         A6            E      E/F# 
Hangin' down over your tractor wheels 
     E          E/F#            E            E/F# 
The sun beatin' down turns the red paint to orange 
     E         E/F#        A     A6  
And rusty old patches of steel 
        A           A6           A       A6 
There's no farmer songs on that car radio 
      A               A6         D 
Just cowboys, truck drivers and pain 
                 E           A            F#m 
Well this is my way to say thanks for the meal 
       Bm                E          A      A6  
And I hope there's no shortage of rain 

 
A              A6         A        A6            
Straw hat and old dirty hankies 
A          A6          E     E/F#  
Moppin' a face like a shoe 
E              E/F#           E           E/F# 
Thanks for the meal here's a song that is real 
        E           E/F#     A     A6  
From a kid from the city to you (2x)



The combines gang up, take most of the bread 
Things just ain't like they used to be 
Though your kids are out after the American dream 
And they're workin' in big factories 
If I come by, when you're out in the sun 
Can I wave at you just like a friend? 
These days when everyone's takin' so much 
There's somebody givin' back in 

Chorus (2x)
