Pete Seeger - The Farmer Is The Man Chords

Pete plays in A (capo 2nd fret), the rest is up to you



G
When the farmer comes to town with his wagon broken down
    C              D                  G
The farmer is the man that feeds 'em all
G
If you'll only look an' see, I think you will agree
       C                 D                 G
That the farmer is the man that feeds 'em all

G
The farmer is the man
The farmer is the man
                         D
Lives on credit 'til the fall
          G
Then they take him by the hand
And they lead him from the land
        D                C                G
And the middle man's the one that gets it all


G
When the lawyer hangs around, and the butcher cuts a pound
     C             D                 G
The farmer is the man that feeds 'em all
G
And the preacher and the cook, they go strollin' by the brook
        C             D                  G
But the farmer is the man that feeds 'em all

G
The farmer is the man
The farmer is the man
                         D
Lives on credit 'til the fall
G
With the interest rates so high
It's a wonder he don't die
         C                  D               G
For the mortgage man's the one that gets it all

G
When the banker says he's broke, and the merchant's up in smoke
         C                 D               G
They forget that it's the farmer who feeds 'em all
G
It would put them to the test, if the farmer took a rest
             C                  D                 G
Then they'd know that he's the man who feeds 'em all

G
Well the farmer is the man
The farmer is the man
                         D
Lives on credit 'til the fall
G
And his pants are wearin' thin
His condition it's a sin
         C                D                  G
He's forgot that he's the man that feeds 'em all
