Here's To The Farmer Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Intro 1]
[G][D][Am][C]

[Verse 1]
[G]Talk about an
uphill battle
[D]Two thousand acres of beans and cattle
[C]But he don't ever get rattled
[G]He just goes [C]'til the sun goes down
[G]Hydraulic fluid on his jeans
[D]Red dye diesel and ten rows between
A [C]cold one on the porch and
a good nights of sleep
Y'all hold 'em up with me now
Here's [D]to the farm

[Verse 2]
[G]er that plants
the fields in the spring
That [D]turn from green to
that harvest honey
[Am]Hold one up for the banker downtown
That [C]got him on his feet
with [D]handshake money
[G]Here's to the farmer's wife
[D]That loves him every night
[Am]Raising a son, raising a daughter
They [G]gather 'round the table,
send it up to the Father
[C]Somehow they get [G]closer
when times get [Am]harder
Here's to [G]the farm[D]er

[Verse 3]
[G]
Subdivision's creeping on in
[D]Neighborhood kids keep
jumping his fence
He could [C]double his money
But that'd be the end of
a promise he'll never break
[G]'Cause he looked his daddy in the eye
[D]And he's got that stubborn pride
[C]He'll be here 'til the day he dies
No, he wouldn't have
it any other way
Here's [D]to the farm

[Verse 4]
[G]er that plants
the fields in the spring
That [D]turn from green
to that harvest honey
[Am]Hold one up for the banker downtown
That [C]got him on his feet
with hand[D]shake money
[G]Here's to the farmer's wife
[D]That loves him every night
[Am]Raising a son, raising a daughter
They [G]gather 'round the table,
send it up to the Father
[C]Somehow they get [G]closer
when times get [Am]harder
Here's to the farm[G]er
[D]

[Verse 5]
[Am]
[C]Yeah, [D]here's to the farmer[G]
that loves his day in the sun
[D]Won't sell that old half-ton
Nobody [Am]Nobody knows better
'bout a hard-earned dollar
[C]dollar
[G]Just [Am]tell him how far he's
[G]gotta go and he'll go [C]further
[D]Here's to the[G] farmer[D]
Here's to [Am]the farm[C]er
Thank you, boys
