This is a truly amazing song.
Have fun with it!
Standard Tuning, Capo 2
[Whole Step Up]
The [D] in the intro (and after chorus) is strummed very quickly.
Listen to the song, and you'll figure it out.
Intro:
A,E,A,D,A
Stuart:
A
Who'll buy my wheat, who'll buy my corn?
D A
To feed my babies when they are born
E
Seeds and dirt, a prayer for rain that I can use.
A
I work the land, I watch the sky
D A
I talk to God and wonder why
F#m E A
But it's the only life I know, these farmer's blues.
(chorus)
E
I see the seasons come and go
D A
Sending rain, fire, and snow.
E
I'm at the mercy of it all, this life I choose.
A
Sometimes I hang my head and cry
D A
When that evening train comes by.
F#m E
I wish it could take me far away
A
These farmer's blues.
A,E,A,D,A
Haggard:
A
The tractor's old, the fence is down
D
Put on my suit and go to town.
A E
I ask for a loan and I know well they might refuse
A
Back at home, still by my side
D A
The one I love, with worried eyes
F#m E A
Waits for me to love away, these farmer's blues.
(Repeat chorus)
