Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[G]Three farmers each bought land
and went out to the fields
Each planning what he thought
would bring the biggest yield
Just [Am]like you and [Asus2]me
[Am]Just like [D]you and [G]me[C][G][C][G][C][Gsus4]
[C]Far[G]mer one rose with the sun and said,
I'll see you later
Gotta get it done, be number one,
gotta beat out all my neighbors
Said, [Am]don't you know, oh,
you [D]reap what you sow
So he planted [G]business,
[C]and the crop tha[G]t came up was ris[D]en
And the children who most
needed [C]his attention
And the wife who wanted some
sign of commit[Am]ment
And the things that made her
[D]love him years ago
He grew a fortun[G]e
[C]But it didn't matter[G] since
his [D]life was shortened
Cause he killed himself on things
that wer[C]en't important
And all his money couldn't save his [Am]soul
Oh [D]no, you reap what you [G]sow[C][G]
[Gsus4]The farmer, too, [G]had much to do
And not much time to do it
He thought about the good life
And the fastest shortcut to it
He said, [Am]don't you know
Don't you know
Oh, you [D]reap what you sow
So he planted pleas[G]ure
[Gsus4]He only w[C]orked wh[G]en
he had [D]perfect weather
He had some fun but
he wound [C]up a beggar
And then those friends of
his all hit the [Am]road
Where did [D]they go?
He grew so [G]selfish
[C]But he never [G]had a taste
[D]of what true wealth is
And he would tell you he
believes [C]that hell is
When the party's over
and you're all [Am]alone
Oh [D]no, you reap what you [G]sow[Gsus4][G]
Now [Am]four by three, as you will see
He had a [D]better understand[G]ing
Of [Am]all of these, it was only he who chose
[D]A seed worth pla[G]nting
He said, [Am]don't you know?
Don't you know?
Ah, [D]you reap what you sow
So he planted [G]love,
an[Em]d the cr[G]op that came up was more lov[D]e
And he shared what he had
with those [C]who had none
Somehow even in the [Am]droughts
he always had enough
[D]Cause he grew friendshi[G]p,
[C]and everyone who[G] knew him fel[C]t a k[D]inship
And the world's a better place
cause he [C]was in it
And though he died,
the harvest never [Am]ended
Oh [D]no, it just [C]grows and grows
It just [Cm]grows and [Am]grows
[D]You reap what you [G]sow[C][G][C][G][C]
[G]
