Mark Wills - Trouble In The Fields guitar chord

TROUBLE IN THE FIELDS

By Nanci Griffith and Rick West

G C Bm C

Baby I know that we've got trouble in the fields

G C

When the bankers swarm like locusts out there

D7 G Gsus

turning away our yields

G C Bm C

The trains roll by our silo, silver in the rain

G C

And leave our pockets full of nothing

D7 G C/G

but our dreams and the golden grain

Chorus:

G C D7sus

And all this trouble in our fields

G G/B C

If this rain can fall, these wounds can heal

D7 G C G

They'll never take our native soil

C D7

What if we sell that new John Deere?

G G/B C

And then we'll work these crops with sweat and tear

G Am7

You'll be the mule, I'll be the plow;

Bm7 C

Come harvest time we'll work it out

Am7

There's still a lot of love,

D7 G Gsus

here in these troubled fields

Have you seen the folks in line downtown at the station?

They're all buying their tickets out

and they're talking the great depression

Our parents had their hard times fifty years ago

When they stood out in these empty fields in

dust as deep as snow

Chorus

There's a book up on the shelf about those dust bowl days

And there's a little bit of me and a little bit of you

in the photos on every page

Now our children live out in the city

and they rest upon our shoulders

They never want this rain to fall

or the weather to get colder

Chorus
