Farmers Blues Chords

Capo 2nd fret

Standard (EADGBE)

The D in the intro (and after chorus) is strummed very quickly.

Listen to the song, and you'll figure it out.

Intro

A E A D A

Stuart:

Who'll buy my whAeat, who'll buy my corn?

To feed my baDbies when they are bAorn

Seeds and dirt, a prayer for rain that I can Euse.

AI work the land, I watch the sky

I talk to GDod and wonder wAhy

But it's the F♯monly life I kEnow, these farmer's blAues.

(chorus)

I see the seaEsons come and go

Sending raDin, fire, and snAow.

I'm at the mercy of it all, this life I chEoose.

Sometimes I haAng my head and cry

When that evenDing train comes bAy.

I wish it could tF♯make me far aEway

These farmer's blAues.

A E A D A

Haggard:

TheA tractor's old, the fence is down

Put on my sDuit and go to town.

I ask for a loAan and I know well they might reEfuse

Back at hoAme, still by my side

The one I lovDe, with worried eyAes

Waits forF♯m me to love aEway, these farmer's bAlues.

(Repeat chorus)
