Chords for Fred Eaglesmith - Go Out And Plough

[D] _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ There's a little [F#m] _ _ [D] envelope _ [F#m] on the [F#] table _ _ unopened
[G]
He already _ knows what it [D] says _ _ _ _ _
He's known it for _ years
[F#m] Still his hand shook with fear
When [G] they picked it up in town _ [D] yesterday
_ It _ _ _ [F#m] _
_ ain't like it seems
You [G] can't run a farm on dreams
Still [D] he thought they [C#m] might let him [Bm] carry on
_ _ _ _ _ [C#] _
[D] Carry on [A] till the dream was [D] even gone
_ _ _ _ And he'd go out and plow
[F#m] But the tractor's broken down _
[G] _ The day's almost spent [Em] _
[D] anyway
_ He _ _ _ _ pours himself a drink _
[F#m] Sets on the porch to think _
[G] Whatever _ are the neighbors [D] gonna say _ _ _ _ _ _
[F#m] Drink and don't take the place
[G] The banker does with an empty face
[D] He tells you _ [C#m] about a job [Bm] up the road
_ _ _ _ Leave [D] the keys [E] in the mailbox when you [D] go _ _ _ _ _
There's a [F#m] patch on the north side _
It's early and it's dry _
[G] It's probably the best there [Bm]
is [D] around
_ But _ _ _ when they sell it off
[A] They [F#m] won't even bring it up _
[G] Hell, who cares _ anymore about [D] the ground
_ _ _ _ [F#m] Some sour-faced city _ kid's lawyer [G] puts in the bid
[Em] For [D] a run-down, [C#m] tax-sheltered, [Bm] hobby farm
_ _ _ _ Who's [D] to blame _ _ [A] anybody _ [D] anymore
_ _ _ _ _ And he'd go _ out and plow _
[F#] But the _ tractor's broken down
[G] The _ day's almost spent [Em] _
[D] anyway
_ He _ _ _ _ pours himself a drink _
[F#m] Sets on the porch to think _
[G] Whatever _ are the neighbors [D] gonna say
_ _ Drink _ [F#m] _
_ and don't take the place
[G] The banker does with an empty [D] face
He tells you about [C#m] a job [Bm] up the road
_ _ _ _ _ [C#m]

[G] _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
[D] _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
[F#m] _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
[G] _ _ _ It's _ _ _
[D] _ _ _ _ _ _ _
a good thing she ain't here
[F#] To _ see the bitter _ [F#m] tears
[G] Spill down as coveralls onto [D] the floor _ _ _ _ _
It's a good thing she ain't alive
[F#] To see how they've taken his pride
[G] And turned it like a crop beneath [D] the soil
_ _ _ _ _ [F#m]
God bless this house, the kitchen says
And [G] even when the bills aren't paid
[D] Be thankful for [F#m] the things that you [Bm] have
_ _ _ _ _ [C#m] _
[D] Even just the [A] shirts upon [D] your backs
_ _ _ _ And he'd go out and plow
_ [F#m]
But the tractor's broken down
[Bm] The [G] _ day's almost spent [Bm] _
[D] anyway
_ He _ _ _ _ pours himself a drink
[F#m] Sets on the porch to think _
[G] Whatever _ are the neighbors [D]
gonna say _ _ _ _ _ _
