Verse 1
Watch the field (G major)
behind the plow turn to straight, (D major) (C major) dark rows (G major)
Feel the (D major) trickle in (A minor) your clothes,
blow the (G major) dust (C major) cake from (D major) your nose
Hear the (G major) tractor's steady (D major) roar,
(G major) Oh you can't (D major) stop (G major) (C major) now (G major)
There's a (D major) quarter sec (A minor) tion
more or (D major) less to go (G major)
And it figures that the rain keeps
its (D major) own sweet (C major) time (G major)
You can (A minor) watch it come for miles,
but you (C major) guess you've got a while (D major)
So ease the throttle (G major) out (D major) a hair, (G major)
every (D major) rod's (C major) a gain (G major)
And there's (A minor) victory in
(D major) every quarter mile
(G major)

Verse 2
Poor old (D major) Kuzyk down the road
The (E minor) heartache,
hail and (C major) hoppers (G major) brought him down
He gave it up and (A minor) went (A major) to (D major) town
And Emmett Pierce the other day
Took a (E minor) heart attack and
died (C major) at forty (G major) two
You could see it com (A minor) ing (D major) on 'cause
he worked as hard as you
(C major) (G major) (A minor)
Verse 3
In an hour, (G major) may (D major) be more, (G major)
you'll be (D major) wet (C major) clear through (G major)
The (A minor) air is cooler now,
pull you (C major) hat brim further down (D major)
And watch the (G major) field be (D major) hind the plow
(G major) turn to straight (D major) (C major) dark rows (G major)
Put an (A minor) other season's promise (D major) in (G major) the ground

Verse 4
And if the (D major) harvest's any good
The money (E minor) just might (C major) cover
(G major) all the loans
You've mortgaged (A minor) all you (D major) own
Buy the kids a winter coat
Take the wife (E minor) back east for
Christmas (C major) if you can (G major)
All summer she (A minor) hang (A major) s (D major) on when
you're so tied to the land
(C major) (G major) (A minor)
Verse 5
For the good (G major) times come and go,
but at (D major) least there's rain (G major)
So this (A minor) won't be barren ground
when Septem (C major) ber rolls around (G major)
(D major) So watch the field (G major) be (D major) hind the
plow (G major) turn to straight (D major) dark (C major) rows (G major)
Put an (A minor) other season's
promise (D major) in the ground (G major)
Watch the field be (D major) hind the plow
(G major) turn to straight (D major) (C major) dark rows (G major)
Put an (A minor) other season's promise (D major)
