[Verse]
    F
You never know what the future holds
                          Dm F 
in the shallow soil of Monsanto, 
     Dm F
Monsanto
    F
The moon is full and the seeds are 
sown
                              Dm F
while the farmer toils for 
      Dm F
Monsanto, Monsanto
     Bb                       Am  
When these seeds rise they're 
           C    F
ready for the pesticide
     Bb               Am         
And Roundup comes and brings the 
C      F          Dm F      Dm F
poison tide of Monsanto, Monsanto

[Verse]
     F                           
The farmer knows he's got to grow 
                      Dm F      Dm F
what he can sell, Monsanto, Monsanto
      F
So he signs a deal for GMOs
                             Dm F 
that makes life hell with 
     Dm F
Monsanto, Monsanto
Bb            Am       C        
Every year he buys the patented 
F
seeds
Bb                   Am    
Poison-ready they're what the 
        C       F        Dm F
corporation needs, Monsanto

[Verse]
F
When you shop for your daily bread
                        Dm F  
and walk the aisles of Safeway, 
  Dm F
Safeway
F
Find the package to catch your eye
                        Dm F      
that makes you smile at Safeway, 
  Dm F
at Safeway
Bb                     Am        
Choose a picture of an old red 
   C              F
barn on a field of green
         Bb
With the farmer and his wife
             Am     C         F  
and children to complete the 
     Dm F        Dm F
scene at Safeway, at Safeway


[Verse]
F
Dreams of the past come flooding 
back
                          Dm F    
to the farmer's mind, his mother 
   Dm F
and father
F
Family seeds they used to save
                            Dm F  
were gifts from God, not Monsanto,
    Dm F
 Monsanto
Bb                    Am          
Their own child grows ill near the
 C        F
 poisoned crops
      Bb                 Am       
While they work on, they can't 
     C             F
find an easy way to stop,
   Dm F     Dm F
Monsanto, Monsanto
