[Verse 1]
[C]See that [F]man in [G]the field over [C]yonder
With dirt on his [F]hands
[G]and a loan on [C]his back
He's the man [F]that puts the
[G]food on [C]your table
He's the man [F]that grows
[G]the clothes on your [C]back
Were running a mile [F]out of the
[G]house he was [C]born in
Tending on [F]the sidelines and
[G]watching him [C]fall
Selling his [F]land to the [G]big corpora[C]tions
What you gonna [F]do when [G]they get it all
[C]He's been rolled for

[Verse 2]
sure
treated like a outlaw
Turned down sold out, put out to graze
He's been pushed you know
when he can push no more
It gets a little harder [G]everyday

[Verse 3]
[Chorus]
He's [C]the American [F]farmer
And he damn hard [C]to beat
Better [G]wake up America, wake up America
[F]'Cause if the man don't work
then the people don't [C]eat

[C]We should be sending the whe[F]at and
[G]meat and cot[C]ton[F][G][C]
'Cause that [F]man in the [G]middle of [C]city
Eatin' outta [F]garbage cans,
[G]sleepin' in [C]the street
See that [F]baby, [G]moping in [C]the kitty
[F]To [G]make ends [C]meet

[Verse 5]
It's a [C]damn disgrace on
the face of America
Hungry people everywhere you go
Children in Africa starving by the fields
While the land lays fallow and
the banks [G]foreclose

[Verse 6]

He's an [F]American,[C][G][F]

[Cm]an A[C]merican,
he's an Americ[Cm]an, [C]American f[F]armer[C][G]
[F][C][G][F]
Never him [C]through
'Cause if he [G]goes down swinging
[F]You better know where gonna go down
swinging to
