Trouble In The Fields
transcribed by Brooke

G         D                               Em                 C
Baby I know that we've got trouble in the fields
               G                              C                         D                       G
When the bankers swarm like locusts out there tearin away our yield
G                     D                         Em               C
The trains roll by our silos silver in the rain
                 G                     C                        D                                 G
Leave our pockets full of nothing but our dreams and the golden grain

Have you seen the folks in line up down town at the station
They're all buying their ticket out and talking a great depression
Our parents had there hard times fifty years ago
When they stood out in these empty fields in dust as deep as snow

Chorus :
G                 C                   D                   G                           C
And all this trouble in our fields if this rain can fall these wounds can heal
C                     D                     G
They'll never take our native soil
G              C                  D
But if we sell that new John Deere
D             G                                   C
then we'll work these crops with sweat and tears
                   G                         Am
You'll be the Mule I'll be the plow
Bm                           C
Come harvest time we'll work it out
C                     Am    
There's still a lot of love
D                                  G
Here in these troubled fields

There's a book up on the shelf about those dust bowl days
There's a little bit of you and a little bit of me
In the photos on every page
Now our children work (live?) in the city and they rest upon our shoulders
Never want the rain to fall or the weather to get colder.

(Chorus)
