Intro:
[D]Whoa-whoa [Bm]whooooaaa whoa whoa [G]whoa[A]
[D]Whoa-whoa [Bm]whoooooaa whoa whoa [G]whoa[A] [D]
Verse 1:
[D]There are tears in the eyes of the scarecrow
[Bm]His head is sinkin' low
[G]He tends his fields with the best of them
Thin[D]kin love can make it [A]grow
But when the [D]landlord says "Its over"
And the [Bm]harvest has turned cold
[G]There ain't enough to pay the man
[D]After the crops have [A]been sold
Chorus:
Tell me [G]what do we see when we [A]look in the mirror
[D]He don't see no money but he [Bm]sees something clearer
There's a [G]man doin all that he[D] can in the midst of [A]no concern
Well he ain't [G]out in the sun tryin' to [A]get his arms brown
He's [D]tryin' to pull a livin' out of [Bm]that ol' hard ground
[G]These days a man and his [D]dreams can get a little bit [A]burned
[A]Workin' on a farmer tan, [D]whoa-whoa [Bm]whooooooaaaa whoa whoa [G]whoa[A]
[D]Whoa-whoa [Bm]whoooooaaa whoa whoa [G]whoa[A] [D]
Verse 2: (same chords)
The fruits of his labor
Have dried upon the vine
He dont' want for finer things
He's wanting to get by
There are fertile fields of compassion
We have yet to turn
We educate and we nominate
But will we ever learn?
Repeat Chorus twice
