Murray McLauchlan - "The Farmer Song"

THE FARMER SONG
Murray McLachlin

Intro:

[A] [A6] [A] [A6] [A] [A6] [A] [A6]

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

[A]Straw hats and[A6]old dirty [A]hankies,[A6][A]mopin' a[A6]face like a[E]shoe[E/F#]
[E]Thanks for the[E/F#]meal here's a[E]song that is[E/F#]real,from a[E]kid from the[E/F#]city to [A]you[A6]

Repeat chorus

[A]The combines[A6]gang up,[A]take most of the[A6]bread things[A]just ain't[A6]like they used to[E]be[E/F#]
Though[E]your kids[E/F#]are out after[E]the American[E/F#]dream and[E]they're workin[E/F#]in big factories[A][A6]
If I[A] come on[A6]by, when you're[A]out in the[A6]sun, can I[A]wave at you[A6]just like a[D]friend
These days when[Bm]everyone's[A]taking so[F#m]much there's[A]somebody[E]giving back[A]in[A6]

Repeat chorus
