Farmers Song by Murray Mclaughlin
Farmers Song
Capo #2
The original key is A without a capo I use the capo 2nd fret to adapt the the novice player.
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
Chorus: (x2)
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
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)
