[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
Continues after the ad
           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

         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
