Sunflowers

 D                                 
Well there's cars on the driveway 
      C             G
as you turn into the yard,
    C               G            
The casket's in the living room, you
D
 look away and swallow hard.
D                                 
Someone hands you a bottle, and 
  C                    G
you don't  know who they are.
         C             G          
Ain't it funny how you used to 
  D
know everybody in these parts.
 D                               
And you hardly knew the dead man, 
            C                  G
though you spoke a time or to two.
         C                 
He had a wife and two small 
                  G                
children, and he lived just like 
   D
you do.

Chorus:
       D                    C     
And he died on his tractor, 
          G
holdin' his end down,

C           G                 D
Forty acres left to plant and forty 
in the ground.
D                                 
But he never had a chance, that's 
C                   G
what they're saying now.
C                  G           D
The bank was gonna walk in any day 
anyhow.
D                                 
And it makes you kind of wonder, 
      C                  G
as you watch the daylight burn,
C            G        D
Wonder if he knew it, wonder if he'd
 heard.


D                           
She's got a crooked smile and 
          C               G
there's dark around her eyes.
C                        G       
She says she knows she's got to 
   D
get on with her life.
D                               C
And you stand off the lawn, and 
                 G
look to where the sun sets.
C                   G             
And someone says we ain't seen the 
 D
last of it yet.

Chorus

D                                 
There's a crop of yellow 
          C                G
sunflowers, in the field across the 
way
C               G           
Makes you sorta grin as you're 
   D
coming down the lane
D                               C
Three hundred bucks a ton, it's 
                 G
what they said at plantin' time
C                    G          
But when it comes to harvest it 
D
wasn't worth a dime
