Verse 2
G 
Well the days they went by and
C 
G 
the bins filled up with grain
My mother's brother died on

C 
and the government it came
G 
D 
And now it will never be the same
G

D 
No one moves away with no money,
they just do what they can
Em 
G 
To live in the heart of America getting
D 
by on their own two hands
And you can pray to anybody's
Jesus and be a hard workin man
C 
But at the end of the day,
if the rain it don't rain,
D 
G 
We just do what we can

Verse 4
G 
C 
Sometime back in '86 when big
G 
banks took the throne
They asked that every local farmer
D 
try to dry his own corn

But the man in the suit had a bigger
C 
plan than to let it be their own
G 
When the crops came in that
D 
spring they were blown
G 

Verse 5
And Neil and Willie tried so hard
C 
G 
in battles they have gone
But that was still longer after the
D 
much bigger war had been won
G 
No one was there to save the wheat
C 
and the cattle at our home
G 
D 
G 
They took every field my family owned

Verse 6
D 
No one moves away with no money,
they just do what they can
Em 
G 
To live in the heart of America getting
D 
by on their own two hands
And you can pray to anybody's
Jesus and be a hard workin man
C 
But at the end of the day,
if the rain it don't rain,
D 
G 
C 
D 
G 
We just do what we can
