[Intro 1]
[D][Em][D][G]

[Verse 1]
[D]Baby,
I [G]know that we got [D]trouble in the field[G]s
When the [D]bankers swarm like
lo[G]custs out there
Turn[A]in' away your yield
[D]The trains roll [G]by our silos,
[D]silver in the rain
[G]They leave our [D]pockets
full of noth[G]in'
But our [A]dreams in the golden [D]grail[Asus4]
[D]Have you seen the [G]folks in line
down[D]town at the sta[G]tion?
[D]They're all buyin' their
[G]tickets out
And they're [A]talkin'
of Great Depres[D]sion
Our parents had [G]their hard times
[D]fifty years ago
[G]When they [D]stood out in these [G]empty fields
With [A]dust as deep as [D]snow
And all this [G]trouble in our [A]fields
If this [D]rain can't fall,
these [G]wounds can heal
They'll never [A]take our native [D]soil
But if we [G]sell that new John [A]Deere
We will [D]work these crops
with sweat [G]and tears
You'll be the [D]mule, I'll be the plow
[Em]Harvest time[D], we'll work it ou[G]t
There's still [Em]a lot of love
here
[A]in these trouble fie[D]lds[Em][D][G]
[D]There's a book out [G]on the shelf
about [D]the Dust Bowl days
[G]And there's a lit[D]tle bit of you
and a [G]little bit of me
And the [A]photos on every [D]page
Our children [G]live in the city
And they [D]rest upon our [G]shoulders
[D]They never want [G]the rain to fall
Or [A]the weather to get [D]colder
And all this [G]trouble in our field[A]s
If there's to [D]re -care for
[G]These wounds can heal
They'll never [A]take our native [D]soil
But if [G]we sell that new John [A]Deere
We'll [D]worth these crops
with [G]sweat and tears
You'll be the [D]mule, I'll be the plow
[Em]In harvest time [D]we'll work it ou[G]t
There's still [Em]a lot of love
here
[A]in these troubled fie[D]lds
So you'll be the mule, I'll be the plow
[Em]In harvest time we'l[D]l work it ou[G]t,
yeah
There's still [Em]a lot of love
here
[A]in these troubled fie[G]lds
[D][Em][D][G][Em]
[A]
you
