FARMER’S SONG - Murray McLachlin
INTRO: 1 2 3 / 1 2 3 /
[G]/[G6]/[G]/[G6]/
[G]/[G6]/[G]/[G6]/
[G] Dusty old [G6] farmer out [G] working your [G6] fields
Hanging [G] down over [G6] your tractor [D] wheel [D7]
The [D] sun beatin' [D7] down turns the [D] red paint to [D7] orange
And [D] rusty old [D7] patches of [G] steel [G6]
There's [G] no farmer [G6] songs on that [G] car radi-[G6]o
Just [G] cowboys, truck [G6] drivers and [C] pain [C]
Well [C] this is my [Am] way to say [G] thanks for the [Em] meal
And I [D7] hope there's no [D] shortage of [G] rain [G6]/[G]/[G6]/
CHORUS:
[G] Straw hat and [G6] old dirty [G] hankies [G6]
[G] Moppin' a [G6] face like a [D] shoe [D7]
[D] Thanks for the [D7] meal here's a [D] song that is [D7] real
From a [D] kid from the [D7] city to [G] you [G6]
[G] Straw hat and [G6] old dirty [G] hankies [G6]
[G] Moppin' a [G6] face like a [D] shoe [D7]
[D] Thanks for the [D7] meal here's a [D] song that is [D7] real
From a [D] kid from the [D7] city to [G] you [G6]/[G]/[G6]
The [G] combines gang [G6] up, take [G] most of the [G6] bread
Things [G] just ain't like [G6] they used to [D] be [D7]
Though your [D] kids are out [D7] after the A-[D]merican [D7] dream
And they're [D] workin’ in [D7] big factor-[G]ies [G6]
[G] If I come [G6] by, when you're [G] out in the [G6] sun
Can I [G] wave at you [G6] just like a [C] friend [C]
[C] These days when [Am] everyone's [G] taking so [Em] much
There's [D7] somebody [D] giving back [G] in [G6]/[G]/[G6]/
CHORUS:
[G] Straw hat and [G6] old dirty [G] hankies [G6]
[G] Moppin' a [G6] face like a [D] shoe [D7]
[D] Thanks for the [D7] meal here's a [D] song that is [D7] real
From a [D] kid from the [D7] city to [G] you [G6]
[G] Straw hat and [G6] old dirty [G] hankies [G6]
[G] Moppin' a [G6] face like a [D] shoe [D7]
[D] Thanks for the [D7] meal here's a [D] song that is [D7] real
From a [D] kid from the [D7] city to [G] you [G6]
[G]/[G6]/[G]/[G6]/
[G]/[G6]/[G]¯
instead of D & D7, you can play D7 & D9 which is more accurate
