Verse 1
(G major) (C major) (G major) (D major) (G major) There's a little white note on the gate
by the road that a (C major) man put up yesterday (G major)
And when we saw it,
we all ran out just to (A major) see what it had to (D major) say
And (G major) when we read it,
our eyes filled with tears
And we (C major) fell to the cold hard (G major) clay
Somethin' about a mortgage
Somethin' about foreclosure
Somethin' about failin' (D major) to pay (G major)
Oh, (D major) and (G major) on the post by the general store
They put (C major) up a little sign
(G major) An auction sale day after
tomorrow at the (A major) end of
Lake and
(D major) Lime
30 (G major) years of farming, 30 years of heartache,
(C major) 30 years of day to (G major) day
Oh, my daddy stopped talking the
day the farm was auctioned
There was nothing left (D major) to say (G major) (C major) (G major)
(A major) (D major) (G major) (C major)
(G major) (D major) (G major) (D major) (G major) (D major) (G major)
Oh my
Mama's tears fell freely down as she
(C major) walked among the flowers in the (G major) yard
And every number the auctioneer called
was like a blow (A major) to her precious heart (D major)
And (G major) every number the (D major) (G major) auctioneer called
meant another (C major) thing was sold that day (G major)
While everything was auctioned,
we stood there watching
While they loaded it and (D major) drove it away (G major)
And on the post by the general store
They put (C major) up a little (D major) sign (G major)
An auction sale day after tomorrow
At the (A major) end of
Lake and
(D major) Line
Thirty (G major) years of farming,
thirty years of harding
Thirty (C major) years of day to (G major) day
Oh, my daddy stopped talkin' (D major) the
day (G major) the farm was auctioned
There was nothin' (D major) left to say
(G major) (C major) (G major) (A major)
(D major) (G major) (C major) (G major) (D major)
(G major)
At the day's (D major) first dawn (G major) ing, we woke this morning,
(D major) there was nothing (C major) for us to do. (G major)
(D major) Nothing (G major) in the granary, (D major) no (G major) hay in the meadow,
no (A major) cattle, no tractor, no (D major) toon.
So we (G major) loaded up the car, took the clothes we wore,
and a few (C major) things we managed to (G major) say.
Mama read from the book, we took one last look,
and then we drove (D major) away. (G major)
And on the post by the general store,
they put (C major) up a little sign. (G major)
An (G major) auction sale day after
tomorrow at the (A major) end of
Lincoln line (D major)
(A major) 30 (G major) years of farming, 30 years of harding,
30 (C major) years of day to (G major) day
Oh, my daddy stopped talking the
day the farm was auctioned
There was nothing left (D major) to (G major) say
you
