Intro:
Em G Em G Em G Em G

Em G Em G
I tend the wheat field that makes your bread
Em G D
I bind the sweet veal, pluck the hens that make your bed.
Em G Em G
Mother Nature & Mother Earth
Em G D
Are two of three women who dictate what I`m worth.

Chorus:
Em G D C
I`m the farmer, I work in the fields all day
Em G D C
Don`t mean to alarm her, but I know it was meant to be this way.

Em G Em G

You cried a tear, I wiped it dry.
I put you up upon a pedestal so high.
If you should waver, if you should sway,
I`ll catch you, spread my tiny wings and fly away
Em G Em C
You signed your picture with an O and X
Em G D
I bet you don`t write love each time you sign your checks.

REPEAT CHORUS

C D G G/F Em
All of this corn I grow, I grow it all for you
C D G G/F Em
I took a hatchet to the radio, I did it all for you
C D CM7
But you could have written back and you could have said thank you.
C D C D
I guess you got better things, I guess you got better things
C D Em
I guess you got better things , better things to do
G Em G Em G D
Better things to do, better things to do,
better things to do, oh.

You say you love me, is that the truth?
Although they`ve heard the songs, my friends need living proof.
I know your address, I ring the bell,
I bring you flowers and a .22 with shells.

REPEAT CHORUS

Outtro:
Em G Em G Em G Em G
