The Farmers Song
Tuning: E A D G B E
A6 (002222) E/F# (022120)
[Intro]
A A6 A A6
A A6 A A6
[Verse 1]
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
[Chorus]
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
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
[Verse 2]
A A6 A A6
The combines gang up, take most of the bread
A A6 E E/F#
Things just ain't like they used to be
E E/F# E E/F#
Though your kids are out after the American dream
E E/F# A A6
And they're workin' in big factories
A A6 A A6
If I come by, when you're out in the sun
A A6 D
Can I wave at you just like a friend?
E A F#m
These days when everyone's takin' so much
Bm E A A6
There's somebody givin' back in
[Chorus]
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
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
