We Dont Grow Tobacco Ukulele

(ver. 1)
Old Crow Medicine Show
Capo 2

        G
Hardest work that ever I done, was done beneath that burning sun
             D               G
Hauling that tobacco around to cure.
      
I would chop that wicked weed til my hands and fingers bleed
              D             G
Working like a mule maybe more
          C                           G
We've been farming on this land since 1810
        Em                  C              D
Through flood, drought and pestilence and war
      G
Now I sure am sad to say that I lived to see this day
                  D                       G
And we don't grow tobacco around here no more!

Chorus:

         C              G
We don't grow, we don't grow
                                         D
Oh, it's still the only work we'll ever know
               C              G
Well, we don't grow, we don't grow
              D                       G
We don't grow tobacco around here no more!

        G
Grandpa told me this, I know Change is coming won't be slow
                    D               G
Knocking just like a thunder at the door

Barren fields are all around, empty barns just falling down
                D                    G
Well Iron weeds coming up through the floor
        C                              G
Once we growed it by the pound Now the kids all moved to town
    Em                  C           D
And all that's left are elderly and poor
      G
Now I sure am sad to say That I will live to see this day
                  D                     G
And we don't grow tobacco around here no more

         C              G
We don't grow, we don't grow
                                         D
Oh, it's still the only work we'll ever know
               C              G
Well, we don't grow, we don't grow
              D                       G
We don't grow tobacco around here no more!

Whoooo yes I sure am sad to say This way of life has gone away
                        D                     G
Now that we don't grow tobacco around here no more
                       D                      G
Well, No we don't grow tobacco around here no more!
