Woody Guthrie Chords

(ver. 1)
Leftover Salmon

D
Hey Woody Guthrie I wish you could see how the
G                D
highways roll by doors.
G                      D        Bm
The internet highways, subways, skyways and
A                    D
nobody’s hitching no more.
D                                    
When you’re rambling the hard times a gamble
G                            D
with minors and migrants of old.
G                       D                   Bm                   A           D
When you walk the line, you spoke your mind telling stories that had to be told.

[Chorus]
G         A               D      A
Hey Woody Guthrie where are you, we could sure
             D
use you once more.
G         A              D  Bm   A
Hey Woody Guthrie where are you, the big dogs
                D
are back at the door.
D
Pastures plenty and I’ve seen a many 
G                         D
no faces appear at the door.
G                          D                                  Bm                A           D
The fields are all empty and these pastures are muddy because farms aren’t for people no more.
D                                     
Some are machines stealing away dream
G                                 D
and genetics are the new golden doors.
G                                 D                  Bm           A           D
But the crops that we’re breeding I’ll never feed the corporate shun or the poor.

[Chorus]
G         A               D      A
Hey Woody Guthrie where are you, we could sure
             D
use you once more.
G         A              D  Bm   A
Hey Woody Guthrie where are you, the big dogs
                D
are back at the door.

[Solo]

D
As a whole generation that’s got no sensation
G                     D
of feeling part of it all.
G                D                       Bm                A           D
No sense of land and the advertising man has got brand new logos for all.
D
There can be no denying that the farm fields are dying
G                      D        
out here on suburbia's door
G                           D                          Bm     A                 D
Seems it’s taken our souls, and we’re loosing control, Woody we need you once more.

[Chorus]
G         A               D      A
Hey Woody Guthrie where are you, we could sure
             D
use you once more.
G         A              D  Bm   A
Hey Woody Guthrie where are you, the big dogs
                D
are back at the door.
G         A     D           A
Out here on the golden shores
A                                 D
Yeah the big dogs are back at the door.
