[E] [F#]
Farm Aid, a concert for America to keep America growing.
We'll continue live from Champaign, Illinois, right after this.
There's a long stretch of hair lies a-bending to our lawn,
tiptoeing the trucks down,
[E] with the sleepy diesel lights.
[F#] Volcanoes that rumble in the taxi are glowing in the dark.
There's camels in the driver's seat,
[E] they're slowing in the hood.
[F#]
[B] But you ran out of [C#] gas, down the road a [G#m] piece,
and your battery went [B] dead, and the cable won't [Bm] reach.
[D]
It's [C] your last [Em]
chance, [G] check [Em] under your hood,
this [C] is your last chance.
[Em] Shit's sounding too [E] good, [A] [B] [Am] your [D] last chance,
[Bm] to [Em] trust the man with the star,
[C]
you've found the [D] last chance,
to exit [Em] home.
The [C] last
[D] chance.
[E] [F#]
Well he tried to be a standard,
and he tried to be mobile,
and he tried living in a world and in a shell.
[Em] Well, [E]
[F#] there [D#m] was this [F#] blockbusted flower,
and he loved her pretty parts and labor,
but she broke down and died.
[E] And threw all her rights and he gave her,
but [F#]
[B] this one isn't fuel injected,
[C#] her plugs are disconnected,
[G#m] she gets scared, and she's [B] stoned.
She just [Bm] needs a man,
[D] and that's all, it's [C] her [Em] last [G] chance.
But [Em] time brings her [C] last chance,
[G] she can't [E] ask [Am] [D]
for a [Bm] chance,
turn [Em] her around, [C]
[Em]
[C] pull it out of [Em] [D] chance,
[Em] takes you home.
