[Intro]
C G C
[Verse]
C F C
Every morning, they roll him to the window
G C
Greeted by a warm April sun
F C
He's got old habits, so hard to break
D7 G
Up with the dawn is just one
C F C
Across the road from Sunnyside Garden
G C
He sees a dusty John Deere
F C
He counts the times it passes by
G C C7
And dreams of the harvest this year
[Chorus]
F C
He's a farmer, a rancher, scholar of dirt
G
Well-worn overalls and an old flannel shirt
F C F
A husband, a daddy, a veteran so proud
C G C
He'd give anything if he could still work the ground
[Verse 2]
C F C
Across the road from Sunnyside Garden
G C
A young man is working the land
F C
He sees him there in the window each morning
D7 G
Waving an old feeble hand
C F C
He goes around getting the work done
G C
Toiling until the day ends
F C
Thinking about the man in the window
G C C7
Knowing someday it might be him
[Chorus]
F C
He's a farmer, a rancher, scholar of dirt
G
Faded blue jeans and a Merle Haggard shirt
F C F
A husband, a daddy, a veteran so proud
C G C A
He thanks the good Lord that he can work the ground
[Verse 3]
D G D
Then one morning at Sunnyside Garden
A D
They said, ("You have visitors, Ben")
G D
He turned to see and he couldn't believe
E7 A
As twenty young farmers walked in
D G D
They took him across from Sunnyside Garden
A D
Hoisting him up in that seat
G
Tears hit the ground as the planter went down
D A D
Once again, he is sowing the seeds
[Chorus]
G D
They're farmers and ranchers, scholars of dirt
A
Souls of the heartland, salt of the earth
G D G
Husbands and daddies, veterans so proud
D A D
God bless the farmers who still work the ground
[Outro]
G D A D
God bless the farmers who nurture the ground
