Trouble in the fields Nanci Griffith
[G]Baby I [C]know that we've got [Bm]trouble in the field[C]s
When the [G]bankers swarm like lo[C]custs out there
[D7]turning away our yiel[G]ds [Gsus]
[G]The trains roll [C]by our silo, [Bm]silver in the rai[C]n
And leave our [G]pockets full of [C]nothing
but our d[D7]reams and the golden grai[G]n [C/G]
Chorus:
[G]And all this [C]trouble in our f[D7sus]ields
If this [G]rain can [G/B]fall, these [C]wounds can heal
They'll never ta[D7]ke our native soi[G]l [C] [G]
What if we [C]sell that new John [D7]Deere?
And then we'll [G]work these c[G/B]rops with s[C]weat and tear
You'll be the mule,[G] I'll be the plow;[Am7]
Come harvest time [Bm7]we'll work it ou[C]t
There's still a [Am7]lot of love,
[D7]here in these troubled field[G]s [Gsus]
Have you seen the folks in line downtown at the station?
They're all buying their tickets out
and they're talking the great depression
Our parents had their hard times fifty years ago
When they stood out in these empty fields in
dust as deep as snow
Chorus
There's a book up on the shelf about those dust bowl days
And there's a little bit of me and a little bit of you
in the photos on every page
Now our children live out in the city
and they rest upon our shoulders
They never want this rain to fall
or the weather to get colder
Chorus
