That's it! Here's the song. Apparently, this was inspired by Don's

grandfather and his experiences farming. Think of it as a soft-rock

counterpoint to "Foreclosure of a Dream" :-)

G (can play C here, but not necessary)

I used to work for Harvester,

I used to use my hands,

I used to build the tractors and the combines,

 that plowed and harvested this great land...

 Now I see my handiwork on the block

Everywhere I turn,

And I see the clouds cross the weathered faces,

 And I watched the harvest burn...

That's essentially it, as all the verses can be played with the same basic

progression

 ( / / followed by / / / / / / and end on )

At the end (after "I don't see next year's crop"), return to the second

progression:

 And I sit here in my back porch in the twilight,

 And I hear the crickets hum...

 Sit and watch the lightning in the distance,

 but the showers never come...

 I sit here and listen to the wind blow,

 I sit here and rub my hands,

 I sit here and listen to the clock strike,

  (end on )

And wonder when I'll see my com-panion again..

That's about it. Economically and politically a bit dated, I guess, but

still packs a punch musically.
