Here is a closer chord progression to my ear.
Half-step down tuning (Eb, Ab, Db, Gb, Bb, Eb)
INTRO:
F G X2
VERSE 1:
Well I heFard he needed some helFp on the farm
Somebody Gwith a truck and two sFtrong arms
Not scaredF of dirt and willinG' to work
till the Fsun goes downG
So I pulleFd up and said I'm your man
I could staGrt right now and we shook hands
He said tFhe fence needs fixin',
the peGaches need pickin'
And thFe cows need bringin rounGd
CHORUS 1:
I was hauFlin' hay, I was feediGn' the hogs
and that Fsummer sun had me sweatiGn' like a dog
So I coDmoled off in the creek
then iFt was back to work in the daGg gum heat
I wasF cussin' out loud, thinkiGn' bout quitin'
LookFin' back now I'm surGe glad I didn't
Cuz jDmust when i thought it coFadd9uldn't get no hotter
I caught glimFpse of the farmer's daugGhter
VERSE 2:
She was jFust gettin' home from PaFnama city
She was alGl tanned up and my Fkinda pretty
When heFr eyes met mine
I wasG thinkin' that I would sure lFove my job
As the daFys got shorter our talks Fgot longer
The kisGses got sweeter and theF feelings got stronger
So we'dF hop in the truck and getG all tangled up
Every Fchance we got
CHORUS 2:
We were Fdown by the river all night long
When the suGn came up I was sneakin' her home
And draggDmin' my butt to work
With the smFell of her perfume on myG shirt
I'd be onF the tractor she'd be on my mind
With thaGt sun beatin' down on this back of mine
JusDmt when I thought it couldn't gFadd9et no hotter
I fFell in love with the farmeGr's daughter
BRIDGE:
WeDm got married last sprGing
DmWoah and there ain't no better life for meG
CHORUS/OUTRO:
Im still Fhaulin' hay and feedin' the hogs
And that Gsummer suns has me sweatin' like a dog
So I coDmol off in the creek
And she brFings me outta glass of sweeGt ice tea
Im on Fthe tractor and shes on my mind
And I Gcant wait til its quittin' time
And jDmust when I think itFadd9 cant get no hotter
I Fcome home to the farGmer's daughter
F G
Yeah tGhe farmer's dauFghter
Suggestions welcome.
