  • Verse 1
    (Traditional, 


    adapted by Ry Cooder) 

    Verse 2
    (D) - (A) - (E) 

    (A) We worked 
    through 
    Spring 
    and 
    Winter, 

    through 
    (D) Summer 
    and 
    through (A)
    Fall 

    But the 
    mortgage 
    worked 
    the 
    hardest 

    and the 
    (E) steadiest 
    of 
    us 
    all 

    It 
    (A)
    worked 
    on 
    nights 
    and Sundays, 

    it 
    (D) worked 
    each 
    holi
    day 

    (E)
    Settled 
    down 
    among 
    us 

    and it 
    never 
    went 
    (A) away 

    The 
    Verse 3
    farmer 
    comes 
    to town 
    with 

    his 
    wagon 
    broken 
    down 

    The 
    farmer 
    is 
    the man 
    who feeds 
    us 
    all 

    If 
    you 
    only 
    look 
    and 
    see 

    know 
    you 
    will 
    agree 

    That 
    the 
    farmer 
    is 
    the man 

    who feeds 
    us all 

    Verse 4
    (A) The farmer 
    is 
    the man, 

    the farmer 
    is 
    the man 

    He buys 
    on 
    his 
    credit 
    until 
    (E)
    Fall 

    Then 
    they 
    (A) take 
    him 
    by 
    the hand 

    And 
    they 
    (D) lead 
    him 
    from 
    his land 

    And 
    the 
    (E) merchant 
    is 
    the man 
    who 
    gets 
    it (A) all 

    Interlude 1





    Verse 5
    The 
    farmer 
    is 
    the man, 

    the 
    farmer 
    is 
    the man 

    He lives 
    on 
    his 
    credit 
    until 
    Fall 

    With 
    the 
    interest 
    rates 
    so 
    high 

    It's 
    wonder 
    he 
    don't 
    die 

    But the 
    taxes 
    on 
    the farmer 

    feeds 
    us 
    all 

    Verse 6

    Well, 
    the 
    banker 
    says 
    he's broke 
    and 

    the 
    merchant 
    stops 
    and smoke 

    But they 
    forget 
    that 
    it's 
    the farmer 

    that 
    feeds 
    them 
    all 

    It would 
    put 
    them 
    to 
    the test 

    if 
    the 
    farmer 
    took 
    a rest 

    And 
    they'd 
    know 
    that 
    it's 

    the farmer 
    that 
    feeds 
    them 
    all 

    Verse 7
    The 
    farmer 
    is the man, 

    the 
    farmer 
    is the man 

    Lives 
    on 
    his 
    credit 
    until 
    Fall 

    Well, 
    his 
    pants 
    are 
    wearing 
    thin 

    His 
    con
    dition, 
    it's 
    a sin 

    'Cause the 
    taxes 
    on the 
    farmer 
    feeds 
    us all

    • Best Tuning App Ever

      MaddProfessor

      I've downloaded many tuning apps before and this one is by far the best. Easy to use, super user-friendly, and they have a bunch of fun different chords and songs to help you learn new music. I highly recommend.

    • Well-Designed App

      Rose the Black Cat

      I mostly use this for tuning my guitar, which this app makes ridiculously easy. It also has a large selection of songs to play along to and it helps show you which chords to play as well how to make the shapes with your fingers.

    • Got me back into playing

      Tuliketsune

      I got this app to tune an old guitar, and noticed it has a feature that autoscrolls as I play chords to famous songs. For some reason, this was a lot more motivating for me than any other way of practicing guitar. Now I'm actually practicing and remembering the names of chords 🙂

    • Secret weapon

      Brad

      Not only is it a tuner (best app tuner I've used personally) but it also has a metronome, games, chords, and a plethora of instruments to choose from and it's SUPER easy to navigate. I love it! Thanks for making an awesome app. From one musician to another, THANKS!!!

    • Very reliable tuner

      theNewPaul

      This is a great app! Very easy to use and very reliable, if you are just starting out, you can take a big worry off your mind, by getting in tune quickly and easily with this app. Highly recommended!

    • This is the best guitar tuner ever.

      Caleb Schafli

      It tunes your guitar accurately so you can get the best sound. I like all the other little games as well because they teach you how to play different chords and you can learn to identify the chords by listening to them and it is all offline.

    • Great to tune and play

      Lynae T

      I love how easy it is to tune and find and play my favorite songs.
