So, we are here to celebrate.
I've got to plug in because it's acoustic and everything.
To celebrate [F#m] and [F] speak for, in some ways, our farmers, [A] those people that care for our
land and those who feed us.
And most specifically thinking about those who feed us good food and those who are struggling
to keep up with the sort of big agribusiness and the sort of the notion of profit, of a
food system based solely in profit rather than health and health of a planet and health
of each other and health of the people that work the land.
So, we are here for the family farmers and we're here for the small farmers and we're
here to speak for them and say, we need to all step up a little more and make sure that
the people that feed us good food and take care of our land are taken care of because
you know that's the beginning of everything, right?
So, that's why we're here.
So, if you, while I'm at it, if you want to contribute, you can do so at farmaid.org.
I'm talking about a healthy planet with healthy soil that can breathe in all the pollution.
That's what I'm talking [E] about and that's how we can take care of it.
On that note, rye is a thing that people grow and some of that rye gets to be turned into
whiskey.
Funny enough, I should say that because last night I might have just possibly had a little
too much of it.
So, that adds to my sweatiness.
I heard this song first played by Pete Seeger.
So, I'm going to try to do it justice.
Rye whiskey, rye whiskey, rye whiskey I cry.
If I don't get rye whiskey, I surely will die.
If the ocean was whiskey and I was a duck, I'd swim to the bottom and never come back.
[A] I'd swim to [Em] the bottom [F#] [E]
and
Rye whiskey, rye whiskey, rye whiskey [A] I cry.
If I don't get rye whiskey, I [B] surely [E] will die.
Yeah, I live on Clinch Mountain, I wander alone.
I'm as drunk as the [F#] devil, so leave me [E] alone.
I'm as [A] drunk [G] as the devil, so leave [E] me alone.
Rye whiskey, rye whiskey, rye whiskey [A] I cry.
If I don't get rye whiskey, I surely [E] will die.
Yeah, I eat when I'm [C] hungry, I [Em] drink when I'm dry.
And if a tree don't fall on me, I [E] will do, I'll die.
If [A] a tree don't fall [G] on me, [F#] I'll
[E]
Rye whiskey, rye whiskey, rye whiskey [A] I cry.
If I don't get rye whiskey, I surely [E] will die.
If [A] I don't get [G] rye whiskey, I [F#] surely [E] will die.
