Em C D G
Iron-clad feather-feet pounding the dust
C D D4 G
An October's day, towards evening
Em C D G
Sweat embossed veins standing proud to the plough
C D D4 G
Salt on a deep chest seasoning
Em C D G
Last of the line at an honest day's toil
C D D4 G
Turning the deep sod under
Em C D G
Flint at the fetlock, chasing the bone
C D D4 G
Flies at the nostrils plunder.
C D G C
The Suffolk, the Clydesdale, the Percheron vie
Am D D4 Em
with the Shire on his feathers floating
C D G C
Hauling soft timber into the dusk
C D D4 G
to bed on a warm straw coating.

F#7 G D
Now you're down to the few
Bb F

C Em D Bm
The tractor's on its way.
