Nanci Griffith - Trouble in the fields

^G Baby I k^Cnow that we've got tr^Bmouble in the field^Cs When the b^Gankers swarm like lo^Ccust out there tu^Drning away our yi^Geld ^{Gsus4 G} The trains roll ^Cby our silos, s^Bmilver in the r^Cain They leave our po^Gckets full of no^Cthing but our dr^Deams and the golden gr^Gain ^Gsus4

^G Have you seen the f^Colks in line ^Bmdowntown at the st^Cation ^G They're all buying their ^Ctickets out and t^Dalking the great dep^Gressio^Gsus4n ^G Our parents h^Cad their hard times f^Bmifty years a^Cgo When they s^Gtood out in these em^Cpty fields in d^Dust as deep as s^Gnow

^G And all this t^Crouble in our fi^Delds If this ra^Gin can ^G/Bfall, these wo^Cunds can heal They'll never t^Dake our native s^Goil ^{Gsus4 G} But if we ^Csell that new John Dee^Dre And then we'll w^Gork these c^G/Brops with sw^Ceat and tears You'll be the mu^Gle I'll be^Am7 the plow Come ^Bm7harvest time we'll w^Cork it out There's still a lotta^Am7 love, h^Dere in these troubled fi^Gelds ^{Am7 Bm7 C}

^GThere's a book up o^Cn the shelf about the d^Bmust bowl d^Cays And there's a li^Gttle bit of you and a litt^Cle bit of me In the p^Dhotos on every pag^Ge ^GNow our children l^Cive in the city and they r^Bmest upon our should^Cers ^GThey never want the rai^Cn to fall or the weat^Dher to get col^Gder

^G And all this t^Crouble in our fi^Delds If this ra^Gin can ^G/Bfall, these wo^Cunds can heal They'll never t^Dake our native s^Goil ^{Gsus4 G} But if we ^Csell that new John Dee^Dre And then we'll w^Gork these c^G/Brops with sw^Ceat and tears You'll be the mu^Gle I'll be^Am7 the plow Come ^Bm7harvest time we'll w^Cork it out There's still a lotta^Am7 love, h^Dere in these troubled fi^Gelds ^{Am7 Bm7 C}

You'll be^G the mule I'll be ^Am7the plow Come ha^Bmrvest time we'll work it o^Cut There's still a ^Am7lotta love, h^Dere in these troubled fie^Glds
