Trouble In The Fields

G Am G/B C G C Bm C Baby, I know that we've got trouble in the fields G C When the bankers swarm like locusts D G They are turning away our yield C Bm C The trains roll by our silos, silver in the rain G C They leave our pockets full of nothing D G And our dreams and the golden grain C Bm C G Have you seen the folks in line, downtown at the station C They're all buying their tickets out D G And they're talking the great depression C Bm C Now our parents had their hard times fifty years ago G C When they stood out in these empty fields D G In dust as deep as snow C D And all this trouble in our fields G G/B C If this rain can fall, these wounds can heal D G They'll never take our native soil C D And if we sell that new John Deere G G/B C And we work this farm with sweat and tears G Am You'll be the mule, I'll be the plough G/B C Come harvest time we'll work it out Am D G Am G/B C G There's still a lotta love, here in these troubled fields C Bm C There's a book up on the shelf about the dust bowl days G C And there's a little bit of you and a little bit of me D G In the photos on every page C Bm C Now our children live in the city and they rest upon our shoulders G C They never want the rain to fall D G Or the weather to get colder C D And all this trouble in our fields G G/B C If this rain can fall, these wounds can heal D G They'll never take our native soil C D And if we sell that new John Deere G G/B C And we work this farm with sweat and tears G Am You'll be the mule, I'll be the plough G/B C Come harvest time we'll work it out Am D G Am G/B C G There's still a lotta love, here in these troubled fields Am You'll be the mule, I'll be the plough G/B C Come harvest time we'll work it out Am D C G There's still a lotta love, here in these troubled fields___
