[Verse 1]
Well [D]there once was [G]a time that [D]this farm
of mine was plowed by [G]a mule [D]and a man[G]
They [D]worked from [Bm]dawn [D]till darkness just
tryin' to civ[Bm]ilize the [Em]sand[D][G]
[D]Spikin' holes then placin' a
[G]seed [D]like each [G]one was [D]a friend
[A]Then hope they'd planted it dee[D]p
enough [Bm]to sur[Em]vive the [A]dusthole winds
[D]But lots of [G]things have cha[D]nged sin[G]ce
that ol' [D]mule [G]went to the [D]barn[G]
[D]I brought that l[G]ittle ol' h[D]ouse out back
[G]ins[D]ide where it's nic[A]e and war[D]m[G]
No [D]more [G]blisters from a [D]walkin' [G]plow
or [D]chokin' the [G]weedin' [D]hole
[Bm]I just lea[A]ve the land th[D]e way it is
and [A]watch good money [D]grow
[G]Soil banks and sur[D]plus wheat
[A]leaves lots of time on my han[D]ds
But [G]I'll take time over [D]blisters any [Bm]week
And [Em]live off the [E]fat [A]of the [E](live off the fat[A] of
[E]the) live off the [A]fat of the [D]land[G][D][G][D][G][D][A]
[D][ ac.guitar ]
Well as long as [Bb]they [D]keep payin' me
[G]not a w[D]ork or lift a h[G]and
I'm gonna keep on [D]buyin' [G]up all
[D]this money [G]makin' [D]sand[G]
And [D]I guess [G]I'll be real famous soon
and [D]that's a [G]matter [D]of fact
They're [A]sayin' they're gonna men[D]tion
my [Bm]name in [Em]the Farmer's [A]Almanac
[D]And I owe it all[G] to Uncle Sam[D] for[G]
[D]a deal [G]you just [D]can't [G]beat
And I [D]moved from [G]old star[D]vation
[G]road [D]to live [G]on [D]Easy [G]Street
[D]An d I know this [G]golden [D]chain of
[G]luck will soon[D]er or [G]later [D]break
But [A]by the time that it fi[D]nally [Bm]does
[A]I won't have t[D]o state
[G]Soil banks and sur[D]plus wheat...
