Trouble In The Fields

G      C                   Bm   
Baby I know that we've got 
               C
trouble in the fields
         G                    C
When the bankers swarm like locusts 
out there
D7                   G  Gsus
turning away our yields
G               C            Bm 
The trains roll by our silo, 
              C
silver in the rain
              G              
And leave our pockets full of 
 C
nothing
         D7                       
but our dreams and the golden 
G   C/G
grain

G            C               D7sus
And all this trouble in our fields
        G        G/B         C
If this rain can fall, these wounds 
can heal

They'll never take our native soil
  C  G

           C                  D7
What if we sell that new John Deere?
               G           G/B    
And then we'll work these crops 
    C
with sweat and tear
                   G           
You'll be the mule, I'll be the 
      Am7
plow;
                  Bm7             C
Come harvest time we'll work it out
                Am7
There's still a lot of love,
D7                          G  Gsus
here in these troubled fields


Have you seen the folks in line 
downtown at the station?
They're all buying their tickets out
and they're talking the great 
depression
Our parents had their hard times 
fifty years ago
When they stood out in these empty 
fields in
dust as deep as snow

Chorus

There's a book up on the shelf about
 those dust bowl days
And there's a little bit of me and a
 little bit of you
in the photos on every page
Now our children live out in the 
city
and they rest upon our shoulders
They never want this rain to fall
or the weather to get colder

Chorus
