2 Fred Eaglesmith - That Old McCormick Chords

[G] _ _ _ _ _ _ I was a boy back in the [F#] skiing,
I used to hit the [C] ground with an old gray mule.
One day my daddy [G] went to town,
I bought a big old tractor to work that ground.
That old McCormick had a [D] funky [F#] plug,
but he couldn't pull, but he [C] dug down by the river
where the snow was black [G] as coal.
_ It stuttered, it sputtered, [D] blew a little smoke,
[F#] put it in the clutch, pulled out the [C] choke.
Wouldn't be a minute, we'd be [G] heading back down that road.
_ We grew taters, we grew corn,
we [Am] grew crops, sure as you're [C] born,
living off the land like a [G] 1935.
_ _ _ Didn't have money, [D] didn't have a [C] soul,
didn't have much, didn't want more.
We were happy [G] just to be alive.
