| | Listen to the rice when the | wind | blows ' | cross the water |
| | F | Fm | C |
| | King Harvest | has surely | come |
| | Am | G | Bb | F | C |
| | I work for the | union ' | cause she's so | good to | me |
| | Am | F | Dm | E |
| | And I'm bound to come | out on top | that's where I sh | ould be |
| | Am | Bb | C |
| I will | hear | ev'ry word the | boss may say |
| | Am | Bb | C |
| For | he's the | one who hands me | down my pay |
| | Am | Bb | C |
| Lo | oks like | this time I'm gonna | get to stay |
| | Am | Bb | C | Am-G-Bb-F |
| | I'm a un | ion man, now, | all the way | |
| From the magnolia trees in the meadow |
| King Harvest has surely come |
| Dry summer, then comes fall |
| Which I depend on most of all |
| Hey, rainmaker, can't you hear my call? |
| Please let these crops grow tall |
| Long enough I've been up on Skid Row |
| And it's plain to see, I've nothin to show |
| I'm glad to pay those union dues |
| Just don't judge me by my shoes |
| Scarecrow and a yellow moon |
| And pretty soon a carnival on the edge of town |
| King Harvest has surely come |
| Last year, this time, wasn't no joke |
| My whole barn went up in smoke |
| My horse Jethro, well he went mad |
| And I can't remember things bein' so bad |
| Then there comes a man with a paper and a pen |
| Tellin' us our hard times are about to end |
| And then, if they don't give us what we like |
| He said, "Men, that's when you gotta go on strike" |
| Listen to the rice when the wind blows 'cross the water |
| King Harvest has surely come |
| Solo (an attempt :), the last few seconds may be a little off) |
