Farm on the Freeway Jethro Tull
Here are the chords for a great Tull song that don`t exist yet for some reason.
Now they do and you can go play it.
The chords might not be exactly above the proper words but you`re smart and know where they go.
[Em]Nine miles of [C]two-strand toppe[Em]d with barbed wir[C]e
[C]Laid by the [D]father for the s[Em]on.
[Em]Good shelter [C]down there on the[Em] valley fl[C]oor,
[C]Down by where the [D]sweet stream run[Em].
[C]Now they might [D]give me c[(Am]ompe[G)]nsat[Em]ion
[F]That's not what I'm [Em]chasing. I was a [F]rich man befo[C]re yester[Em]day.[C]
[Em]Now all I hav[C]e got is a cheque a[Em]nd a pickup truck.[C]
[C] I left my far[D]m on the freeway.
Repeat that for the rest of the song.
They're busy building airports on the south side?
Silicon chip factory on the east.
And the big road's pushing through along the valley floor.
Hot machine pouring six lanes at the very least.
They say they gave me compensation
That's not what I'm chasing. I was a rich man before yesterday.
Now all I have left is a broken-down pickup truck.
Looks like my farm is a freeway.
They forgot they told us what this old land was for.
Grow two tons the acre, boy, between the stones.
This was no Southfork, it was no Ponderosa.
But it was the place that I called home.
They say they gave me compensation
That's not what I'm chasing. I was a rich man before yesterday.
And what do I want with a million dollars and a pickup truck?
When I left my farm under the freeway.
Have fun.
