[Intro]
G Am7 Bm7 C
[Verse 1]
G C Bm C
Baby I know that we got trouble in the fields
G C D G Gsus4
When the bankers swarm like locusts out there turning away our yield
G C Bm C
The trains roll by our silos, silver in the rain
G C D G Gsus4
They leave our pockets full of nothing but our dreams and the golden grain
[Verse 2]
G C Bm C
Have you seen the folks in line downtown at the station
G C D G Gsus4
They're all buying their tickets out and talking the great depression
G C Bm C
Our parents had their hard times fifty years ago
G C D G
When they stood out in these empty fields in dust as deep as snow
[Chorus]
G C D
And all this trouble in our fields
G G/B C
If this rain can fall, these wounds can heal
D G Gsus4
They'll never take our native soil
G C D
But if we sell that new John Deere
G G/B C
And then we'll work these crops with sweat and tears
G Am7
You'll be the mule I'll be the plow
Bm7 C
Come harvest time we'll work it out
Am7 D G Am7 Bm7 C
There's still a lotta love, here in these troubled fields
[Verse 3]
G C Bm C
There's a book up on the shelf about the dust bowl days
G C
And there's a little bit of you and a little bit of me
D G Gsus4
In the photos on every page
G C Bm C
Now our children live in the city and they rest upon our shoulders
G C D G Gsus4
They never want the rain to fall or the weather to get colder
[Chorus]
G C D
And all this trouble in our fields
G G/B C
If this rain can fall, these wounds can heal
D G Gsus4
They'll never take our native soil
G C D
But if we sell that new John Deere
G G/B C
And then we'll work these crops with sweat and tears
G Am7
You'll be the mule I'll be the plow
Bm7 C
Come harvest time we'll work it out
Am7 D G Am7 Bm7 C
There's still a lotta love, here in these troubled fields
[Otro]
G Am7
You'll be the mule I'll be the plow
Bm C
Come harvest time we'll work it out
Am7 D G
There's still a lotta love, here in these troubled fields
