A--7h9---9-7--9-7---7-9---7h9---9---- F#m E

 I worked the Aland to raise a Bmfamily

 'Till I was Gweary to the Abone

F♯mBut hard labour never Gbothered me

 Lord, it's Dall I ever Aknown

 Too many Aseasons of Bmcalamity

 And too much Ginterest on the Aloan

F♯mIt's half the size as it Gused to be

 And Dhalf of Athat is Estone Esus4 E

EThe crops ain't worth a-Aseeding

 Timber Donly Agets you Efire Esus4 E

EThe live-stock I'm a-Afeeding

 I can Dhardly Akeep 'em aElive

 I gotta F♯mdo what I Ecan to Dsurvive

(chorus)

 I know the F♯mlaw wont be forDgiving

 But Athat'll be the choice I Emade

 I used to Bmfarm for a Gliving

 But Dnow I'm in the growing Atrade

(intro riff)

 The summer Abeauty of the Bmcotton fields

 Was like a Gview from heaven's Adoor

F♯mMy grandaddy said that Gharvest time

 Was what the Dgood lord made us Afor

 I guess he'd Awonder where's the Bmdignity

 In a Gcrop you raise to Aburn

F♯mBut this land is my Glegacy

 I got Dnowhere Aelse to Eturn Esus4 E

EShotgun on my Ashoulder

 Where a Dtote sack Aoughta Ebe Esus4 E

EThe theives are getting Abolder

 And the Dfeds may be Awatching Eme

 I gotta F♯mquit this EeventualDly

(chorus)

 I know the F♯mlaw wont be forDgiving

 But Athat'll be the choice I Emade

 I used to Bmfarm for a Gliving

 But Dnow I'm in the growing Atrade Asus4 A

 HeliEcopters in the Adistance

 Getting Dcloser Aevery Eday

EThey're gonna meet some resiAstance

 Ain't no Dprice too Abig to Epay

EIt won't make any Adifference,

 When they Dtake it Aall awEay,

EBetween the cot in the Ajailhouse

 And a Dbed beneAath the cElay

 I guess there's F♯mnothing to Edo now but Dpray
