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:
Who'll buy my wh[A]eat, who'll buy my corn?
To feed my ba[D]bies when they are b[A]orn
Seeds and dirt, a prayer for rain that I can [E]use.
[A]I work the land, I watch the sky
I talk to G[D]od and wonder w[A]hy
But it's the [F#m]only life I k[E]now, these farmer's bl[A]ues.
(chorus)
I see the sea[E]sons come and go
Sending ra[D]in, fire, and sn[A]ow.
I'm at the mercy of it all, this life I ch[E]oose.
Sometimes I ha[A]ng my head and cry
When that even[D]ing train comes b[A]y.
I wish it could t[F#m]ake me far a[E]way
These farmer's bl[A]ues.
A,E,A,D,A
Haggard:
The[A] tractor's old, the fence is down
Put on my s[D]uit and go to town.
I ask for a lo[A]an and I know well they might re[E]fuse
Back at ho[A]me, still by my side
The one I lov[D]e, with worried ey[A]es
Waits for[F#m] me to love a[E]way, these farmer's b[A]lues.
(Repeat chorus)
Have fun with it!
