Introduction:
G C Bm C
Baby I know that we've got trouble in the fields
G C
When the bankers swarm like locusts out there
D7 G
turning away our yields
G C Bm C
The trains roll by our silo, silver in the rain
G C
And leave our pockets full of nothing
D7 G C/G
but our dreams and the golden grain
G C
And all this trouble in our fields
G G/B C
If this rain can fall, these wounds can heal
D7 G C G
They'll never take our native soil
C D7
What if we sell that new John Deere?
G G/B C
And then we'll work these crops with sweat and tear
G Am7
You'll be the mule, I'll be the plow
Bm7 C
Come harvest time we'll work it out
Am7
There's still a lot of love,
D7 G
here in these troubled fields
Have you seen the folks in line downtown at the station?
