The Farmer Song, Murray McLaughlin

Another one of my childhood favorites...

A A6 A A6
Dusty old farmer out working your fields A A6 E
Hanging down over your tractor wheels
E The sun beatin' down turns the red pain to orange
And E rusty old patches of steel A A6
A There's no A6 farmer songs A on that car A6 radio
A Just cowboys, truck A6 drivers and D pain
Well Bm this is my way to say thanks A for the meal
And I E hope there's no A shortage of A6 rain
A Straw hats A6 and old A dirty A6 hankies
A Mopin' a face like a E shoe
E Thanks for the meal here's a song that is real
From a E kid from the A city to A6 you

The combines gang up, take most of the bread
Things just ain't like they used to be
Though your kids are out after the American dream, And they're workin in big factories
Now If I come by, when you're out in the sun, Can I wave at you just like a friend
These days when everyone's taking so much, There's somebody giving back in

Hi there, just enjoy your vedio, will appreciate if you can send the gitar key score ( I do not know what the right word it is , actually is the music with Am,G,C...etc) by mail.
