The Farmer's Song       Murray McLauchlan 1972
A6     (002222)  E/F#   (022120)
 
[Intro]
A      A6      A      A6
A      A6      A      A6
 
[Verse 1]
 A             A6    A               A6
Dusty old farmer out workin' your fields
 A            A6               E         E/F#
Hangin' down over your tractor wheels
   E             E/F#          E               E/F#
The sun beatin' down turns the red paint 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
     E                      A              F#m
Well this is my way to say thanks for the meal
      Bm              E           A     A6
And I hope there's no shortage of rain
 
[Chorus]
 A            A6            A         A6
Straw hat and old dirty hankies
 A        A6             E      E/F#
Moppin' 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
 
 A            A6            A        A6
Straw hat and old dirty hankies
 A        A6             E      E/F#
Moppin' 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
 
[Verse 2]
A                 A6       A           A6
The combines gang up, take most of the bread
        A               A6           E   E/F#
Things just ain't like they used to be
             E             E/F#     E         E/F#
Though your kids are out after the American dream
             E         E/F#      A        A6
And they're workin' in big factories
A         A6              A          A6
If I come by, when you're out in the sun
      A            A6           D
Can I wave at you just like a friend?
                  E         A         F#m
These days when everyone's takin' so much
        Bm       E            A       A6
There's somebody givin' back in
 
[Chorus]
 A            A6            A         A6
Straw hat and old dirty hankies
 A        A6             E      E/F#
Moppin' 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
 
 A            A6            A         A6
Straw hat and old dirty hankies
 A        A6             E      E/F#
Moppin' 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
