Baby I (C major) know that

Verse 2
Have you seen the folk (C major) s in line
down (B minor) town at the sta (C major) tion
(G major) They're all buying their (C major) ticket out and
(D major) talking the great depres (G major) sion
Our parents had (C major) their hard
times (B minor) fifty years ago (C major)
When they (G major) stood out in these (C major) empty
fields in dust (D major) as deep as snow (G major)
Verse 3
And all this (C major) trouble in our fields (D major)
If this (G major) rain can fall,
these (C major) wounds can heal
They'll never take (D major) our native soil (G major)
But if we (C major) sell that new John Deere
(D major) And then we'll (G major) work these crops
with sweat (C major) and tears
You'll be the mule (G major) I'll be the plow
(A minor) Come harvest time (B minor) we'll
work it out (C major)
There's still a (A minor) lot of love,
(D major) here in these troubled fields (G major)

Verse 4
There's a book up on (C major) the shelf
about (B minor) the dust bowl (C major) days
And there's a (G major) little bit of you
and a (C major) little bit of me
In the (D major) photos on every page (G major)
Now our children live (C major) in the city
and they (B minor) rest upon our shoulders (C major)
(G major) They never want the rain (C major) to fall
or the (D major) weather to get colder (G major)
Verse 5
And all this (C major) trouble in our fields (D major)
If this (G major) rain can fall,
these (C major) wounds can heal
They'll never take (D major) our native soil (G major)
But if we (C major) sell that new John
Deere (D major)
And then we'll (G major) work these crops
with sweat (C major) and tears
You'll be the mule (G major) I'll be the plow
(A minor) Come harvest time (B minor) we'll
(G major) work it out (C major)
There's still a (A minor) lot of love,
(D major) here in these troubled fields (G major)
Verse 6
You'll be the mule I'll be the plow (A minor)
Come harvest time (B minor) we'll
work it out (C major)
There's still a (A minor) lot of love,
(D major) here in these troubled fields (G major)
