Mclaughlin Murray - The Farmer Song guitar tab

A A6 A A6

Dusty old farmer out working your fields

A A6 E E/F#

Hanging down over your tractor wheels

E E/F# E E/F#

The sun beatin' down turns the red pain to orange

E E/F# A A6

And rusty old patches of steel

A A6 A A6

There's no farmer songs on that car radio

A A6 D

Just cowboys, truck drivers and pain

Bm A F#m

Well this is my way to say thanks for the meal

A E A A6

And I hope there's no shortage of rain

A A6 A A6

Chorus Straw hats and old dirty hankies

======= A A6 E E/F#

Mopin' a face like a shoe

E E/F# E E/F#

Thanks for the meal here's a song that is real

E E/F# A A6

From a kid from the city to you

Repeat chorus

The combines gang up, take most of the bread

Things just ain't like they used to be

Though your kids are out after the American dream

And they're workin in big factories

Now If I come on by, when you're out in the sun

Can I wave at you just like a friend

These days when everyone's taking so much

There's somebody giving back in

Repeat chorus
