Trouble in the Fields Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Intro 1]
[G][Bm][C][G][D][G]

[Verse 1]
Baby I [C]know that
we've got [Bm]trouble in [C]the fields
When the [G]bankers swarm like lo[C]cust
out there [D]turning away [G]our yield
The trains roll [C]by our silos, sil[Bm]ver in the rain
[C]They leave our pock
[G]ets full of noth[C]ing
[G]But our [D]dreams and the golden [G]grain

[Verse 2]
Have you seen the folk[C]s in line
[Bm]downtown at the stat[C]ion
[G]They're all buying their [C]ticket out and
[D]talking the great depres[G]sion
Our parents had [C]their hard
times [Bm]fifty years [C]ago
When they [G]stood out in these [C]empty
fields [D]in dust as deep [G]as snow

[Verse 3]
And all this [C]trouble in our [D]fields
If this [G]rain can fall,
these [C]wounds can heal
They'll never [D]take our native [G]soil
But if we [C]sell that new John Deere
[D]And then we'll wor[G]k these crops
with sweat [C]and tears
You'll be the [G]mule I'll be the plow
[Am]Come harvest time [Bm]we'll
work it [C]out
There's still a [Am]lot of love,
[D]here in these troubled [G]fields

[Interlude 1]
[G][C][Bm][C][G][C][D]
[G]

[Verse 4]
There's a book up on [C]the shelf
about [Bm]the dust bowl [C]days
And there's a [G]little bit of you
and a [C]little bit of me
In the [D]photos on every [G]page
Now our children [C]live in the city
and they [Bm]rest upon [C]our shoulders
[G]They never want the rain [C]to fall
or the [D]weather to get [G]colder

[Verse 5]
And all this [C]trouble in our [D]fields
If this [G]rain can fall,
these [C]wounds can heal
They'll never [D]take our native [G]soil
But if we [C]sell that new John
[D]Deere
And then we'll [G]work these crops
with sweat [C]and tears
You'll be the [G]mule I'll be the plow
[Am]Come harvest time [Bm]we'll
[G]work [C]it out
There's still a [Am]lot of love,
[D]here in these troubled [G]fields

[Verse 6]
You'll be the mule I'll be the [Am]plow
Come harvest [Bm]time we'll
work [C]it out
There's still a [Am]lot of love,
[D]here in these troubled [G]fields
