Now i'm a farmer Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Intro 1]
[Bb][C][F][Bb][C][F][C][Bb][F][C]

[Verse 1]
I've got [G]a spade
and a pick- axe
And a hundred miles square
of land [C]to churn about
[F]My old[G] horse is weary but[C] sincer[G]ely
I believe that he can [C]pull a plough
[F]Well I've moved into the jungle
of the agriculture rumble,
To [C]grow my own food
And I'll [G]dig and plough
and scrape the weeds
Till I succeed in seeing cabbage
[C]growing [F]through[C]
Now I'm [G]a farmer,

[Verse 2]
and I'm digging,
digging, digging, [C]digging, digging
Now I'm [G]a farmer, [C]and I'm[G] digging,
digging, digging, digging, [C]digging[F][C]
It's alarming how [F]charming it is
to be [C]a- farming
[F]How calming and balming the
effect [C]of the air

[Verse 3]
[C]
Well, [G]I farmed for a year
and grew a crop of corn
That stretched as [C]far as the
eye can see
That's a [G]whole lot of cornflakes,
[C]Near enough [G]to feed New
[C]York [F]till 1973
Cultivation is my station and the nation
Buys my corn from me im[C]mediately
And holding six[G]ty thousand bucks,
I [F]watch as dumper[C]trucks
Tip [G]New York's [C]corn flakes in the sea
Now I'm [G]a farmer,

[Verse 4]
and I'm digging,
digging, digging, digging, [C]digging[F][C]
Now I'm [G]a farmer, and I'm digging,
digging, digging, digging, [C]digging[F][C]
[F]It's [C]alarm[F]ing how charming
it is to be a- farming
[C]How cal[F]m in[C]g and[F]
balming the effect of [C]the air

[Verse 5]
[C]
Now look here son
The right thing to say
[G]Isn't [C]necessarily what you want to say
The right thing to do
[G]Isn't [C]necessarily what you want to do
The right things to grow
[G]Ain't [C]necessarily what
you want to grow
Your own [G]hap[C]piness
[G]Doesn't [C]necessarily teach

[Verse 6]
you what you want to know
[C]
Well I'm sun[G]tanned and deep,
so's the horse
And my [F]hands [C]are deeply grained
Old [G]horse is a- grazing, it's amazing
[C]Just how lazily he took the strain
Well my [F]pick and spade are rusty,
Because I'm paid on trust to leave
my square of [C]cornfield [F]bare[C]
[F]It's alarming

[Verse 7]
[G]how charming
it is to be a- farming
How calming and balming the

[Verse 8]
effect of the air
[G]
When you grow what I [C]grow
Tomatoes, [F]potatoes, stew,
[C]eggplants...

[Outro 1]
Potatoes, tomatoes...gourds
[C]
