Farmer's Song

	  		
 

Intro: G   G6   G   G6   G   G6   G   G6 

G          G6          G            G6 
Dusty old farmer out workin' your fields 
         G         G6            D      D2 
Hangin' down over your tractor wheels 
     D          D2              D            D2 
The sun beatin' down turns the red paint to orange 
     D         D2         G     G6  
And rusty old patches of steel 
        G           G6           G       G6 
There's no farmer songs on that car radio 
      G               G6         C 
Just cowboys, truck drivers and pain 
                 D           G            Em 
Well this is my way to say thanks for the meal 
       Am                D          G   G6   G   G6 
And I hope there's no shortage of rain 

 

G              G6         G        G6            
Straw hat and old dirty hankies 
G          G6          D     D2  
Moppin' a face like a shoe 
D              D2             D           D2 
Thanks for the meal here's a song that is real 
        D             D2     G     G6  
From a kid from the city to you (2x) 



     G            G6        G           G6 
The combines gang up, take most of the bread 
        G               G6          D   D2 
Things just ain't like they used to be 
             D            D2           D      D2 
Though your kids are out after the American dream 
             D         D2         G   G6 
And they're workin' in big factories 
G         G6               G         G6 
If I come by, when you're out in the sun 
       G           G6           C 
Can I wave at you just like a friend? 
                 D          G         Em 
These days when everyone's takin' so much 
         Am        D         G   G6   G   G6 
There's somebody givin' back in 

Chorus (x2)
