We Don?t Grow Tobacco by Old Crow Medicine Show
Transcribed by DWdrummer67. Enjoy!
Note: On the D#m to A transition... it's easier to just play the barre A
on the 6th fret (pseudo 5th), by just moving your hand position up one string.
If you find it too difficult to transition to, just leave the D#m out. Still sounds good.
Tuning: Standard (capo 1st fret)
Intro: A, E, A
Hardest w[A]ork that ever I done, bent beneath that burning sun
Hauling that tob[E]acco ?round to c[A]ure
I would ch[A]op that wicked weed, till our hands and fingers bleed
Working like a m[E]ule, maybe m[A]ore
We've been far[D]ming on this land? since eig[A]hteen hundred ten
Through f[F#m]lood, drought and pest[B]ilence and w[E]ar
Now I s[A]ure am sad to say, that I?ve lived to see this day
And we don't grow tob[E]acco ?round here no m[A]ore
Chorus:
We don't g[A]row[D]?, we don't g[A]row
Oh, it's still the only work we'll ever k[E]now
We don't g[D]ro[D#m]w?, we don't g[A]row
We don't grow tob[E]acco ?round here no m[A]ore
Grandpa t[A]old me this I know, change is comin?, won't be slow
Knocking just like a thu[E]nder at the d[A]oor
Plowed up fi[A]elds are all around, empty barns just fallin? down
Well, Iron weeds co[E]min? up through the fl[A]oor

We Don?t Grow Tobacco (Page 2)
Once we gro[D]wed it by the pound, now the k[A]ids all moved to town
And [F#m]all that's left are eld[B]erly and p[E]oor
Now I s[A]ure am sad to say, that I?ve lived to see this day
And we don't grow tob[E]acco ?round here no m[A]ore
Chorus:
We don't g[A]row[D]?, we don't g[A]row
Oh, it's still the only work we'll ever kn[E]ow
Well, we don't g[D]ro[D#m]w?., we don't g[A]row
We don't grow tob[E]acco ?round here no m[A]ore
Break:
D, A, F#m, B, E
Whoooo!!!, yes I s[A]ure am sad to say, this way of life has gone away
Now that we don't grow tob[E]acco ?round here no m[A]ore
D A E A? E-A?
Well, we don't grow tobacco ?round here no more
