Arlo Guthrie - Down On The American Farm Chords

G                                C                  G
First you run down to the bank & you get yourself a loan
G           D            G
For $80,000 cash you can drive that tractor home
G
You can drive all night, you can drive all day
G
You can drive over anything gettin' in your way
G                         C                G
And you ain't got a worry til the pay-back day
G           D        G
Down on the American Farm

G                       C                G
So you get some stuff & you spread it around
G           D          G
To keep the bugs & the animals down
G                       C                G    
And you spray it on the crops & you pump it on the ground
G                D                   G
But the bugs get bigger & attack the folks in town
G
You can spray all day, you can spray all night
G
But the bugs get bigger & they ain't afraid to fight
G
You can drive all night, you can drive all day
G
You can drive over anything gettin' in your way
G                         C                G
And you ain't got a worry til the pay-back day
G           D        G
Down on the American Farm

G                                C                  G
Pretty soon the crops come up & you goes to cut 'em down
G                 D              G
You put some in a pickup truck & you hauls it all to town
G
But the more you grow, the more you spend
G
The less it's worth to the market in the end
G
You can spray all day, you can spray all night
G
But the bugs get bigger & they ain't afraid to fight
G
You can drive all night, you can drive all day
G
You can drive over anything gettin' in your way
G                          C                G
Now it's driving you crazy cuz you can't afford to stay
G           D        G
