Careless Weed

^AmThe wind is ^Dblowin', ^Dmthe farmer is ^Amsowin' now ^DmAnd soon you'll be ^Bm7going to ^Emseed, yes and ^Fgrowing,

^COh, Careless Weed, ^Fmaj7rise beside the road and ^Csing to me To ^Dm7be where ^Emroads and ^Frivers ^Dlead And ^Fliving without ^Ggreed Careless ^CWeed ^Am

So grow beneath the bridge and grow you in the fence row now But God help you in the farmers field 'cause he will make you weep, with his hoe-down now, Oh, Careless Weed, from across the river bed you’re calling to me To be where roads and rivers lead In love and without need Careless Weed

^EmI lean ^Fmaj7on my ^Ghoe and stare and ^Cstare, Because I ^Emknow ^Fmaj7I ain't ^Greally going ^Cnowhere, Oh, ^GNo^Fwh^Emere^Dm

And the maree, she's foalin', the tumbleweeds are rollin' now, Movin' down the line and leavin' tracks for the wind to read Oh, Careless Weed, stand beyond the hills and call to me To be where roads and rivers lead And living without greed Careless Weed
