Trouble In The Fields Chords

(ver. 1)
Lauren Oconnell
[Intro]
G   Am   G/B   C     G

[Verse]
        C                   Bm             C
Baby, I know that we've got trouble in the fields
         G                  C
When the bankers swarm like locusts
         D                G
They are turning away our yield
                C             Bm            C
The trains roll by our silos, silver in the rain
               G               C
They leave our pockets full of nothing
        D                     G
And our dreams and the golden grain

[Verse]
                  C              Bm              C        G
Have you seen the folks in line, downtown at the station
                          C
They're all buying their tickets out
            D                   G
And they're talking the great depression
                C                    Bm           C
Now our parents had their hard times fifty years ago
          G                  C
When they stood out in these empty fields
   D               G
In dust as deep as snow

[Chorus]
             C              D
And all this trouble in our fields
        G        G/B         C
If this rain can fall, these wounds can heal
              D               G
They'll never take our native soil
          C                  D
And if we sell that new John Deere
       G         G/B       C
And we work this farm with sweat and tears
              G                 Am
You'll be the mule, I'll be the plough
                G/B              C
Come harvest time we'll work it out
                      Am    D                      G      Am  G/B  C    G
There's still a lotta love, here in these troubled fields

[Verse]
                  C             Bm                 C
There's a book up on the shelf about the dust bowl days
              G                       C
And there's a little bit of you and a little bit of me
       D               G
In the photos on every page
                 C                        Bm             C
Now our children live in the city and they rest upon our shoulders
     G              C
They never want the rain to fall
       D              G
Or the weather to get colder

[Chorus]
             C              D
And all this trouble in our fields
        G        G/B         C
If this rain can fall, these wounds can heal
              D               G
They'll never take our native soil
          C                  D
And if we sell that new John Deere
       G         G/B       C
And we work this farm with sweat and tears
              G                 Am
You'll be the mule, I'll be the plough
                G/B              C
Come harvest time we'll work it out
                      Am    D                      G      Am  G/B  C    G
There's still a lotta love, here in these troubled fields

[Outro]
                                Am
You'll be the mule, I'll be the plough
                G/B              C
Come harvest time we'll work it out
                Am          D                      C   G
There's still a lotta love, here in these troubled fields___
