Standard Tuning/ Travis Picking kandvlee@shaw.ca
Intro: One Verse Instrumental
/ G / / D - C / G
Watch the / field behind the / plow, turn to / straight dark / rows,
/ Am / / C / D
Feel the / trickle in your / clothes, blow the / dustcake from your / nose.
/ G / / D - C / G
Hear the / tractor's steady / roar, oh you / can't stop / now,
/ Am / D7 / G - C / G /
There's a / quarter section / more or less to / go. / / and
/ G / / D - C / G
It / figures that the / rain keeps it's / own sweet / time,
/ Am / / C / D
You can / watch it come for / miles, but you / guess you've got a / while.
/ G / / D - C / G
So ease the / throttle out a / hair, every / rod's a / gain,
/ Am / D7 / G - C / G
There's / victory in / every quarter / mile. /
Chorus One:
/ D /
Poor old / Kuzyk down the / road,
/ Em / C / G
The / heartache, hail, and / hoppers brought him / down.
/ G - A / D / /
He gave it / up and went to / town, / / and
/ D / /
Emmet / Pierce, the other / day, /
/ Em / C / G
Took a / heart attack and / died at forty - / two.
/ G / D / / G
/ / / /
You could / see it coming / on, 'cause he / worked as hard as / you./ / / /
/ G / / D - C / G
In an / hour, maybe / more, you'll be / wet clear / through,
/ Am / / C / D
The / air is cooler / now, pull your / hat brim further / down, and
/ G / / D - C / G
Watch the / field behind the / plow turn to / straight dark / rows.
/ Am / D7 / G - C / G
Put a - / nother season's / promise in the / ground /
Break:
/ D /
And if the / harvest's any / good,
/ Em / C / G
The / money just might / cover all the / loans.
/ G - A / D / - / C / D
You've / mortgaged all you / own, / - buy the / kids a winter / coat.
/ Em / C / G
Take the / wife back east for / Christmas if you / can.
/ G / D / / G / / / /
All / summer she hangs / on, when you're / so tied to the / land. / / / /
/ G / / D - C / G
For the / good times come and / go, but at / least there's / rain.
/ Am / / C / D
So this / won't be barren / ground, when Sep - / tember rolls a- / round, so
/ G / / D - C / G
Watch the / field behind the / plow, turn to / straight dark / rows.
/ Am / D7 / G - C / G
Put a - / nother season's / promise in the / ground. /
/ G / / D - C / G
Watch the / field behind the / plow, turn to / straight dark / rows.
/ Am / D7 / G - C / G
Put a - / nother season's / promise in the / ground. /
