More chords by Nanci Griffith


G C Bm C

Baby I know that we've got trouble in the fields

G C D G Gsus4

When the bankers swarm like locust out there turning away our yield

G C Bm C

The trains roll by our silos, silver in the rain

G C D G Gsus4

They leave our pockets full of nothing but our dreams and the golden grain

G C Bm C

Have you seen the folks in line downtown at the station

G C D G Gsus4

They're all buying their tickets out and talking the great depression

G C Bm C

Our parents had their hard times fifty years ago

G C D G

When they stood out in these empty fields in dust as deep as snow

G C D

And all this trouble in our fields

G G/B C

If this rain can fall, these wounds can heal

D G Gsus4

They'll never take our native soil

G C D

But if we sell that new John Deere

G G/B C

And then we'll work these crops with sweat and tears

G Am7

You'll be the mule I'll be the plow

Bm7 C

Come harvest time we'll work it out

Am7 D G Am7Bm7C

There's still a lotta love, here in these troubled fields

G Am7

You'll be the mule I'll be the plow

Bm C

Come harvest time we'll work it out

Am7 D G

There's still a lotta love, here in these troubled fields
