Robert Plant - The Boy Who Wouldn't Hoe Corn chords
Start Jamming...
I mean, I have sung quiet songs and gentle songs, but I've never
I've been introduced to you and to your whole world,
and it's been really [F] such a revelation.
[D]
[C] [F] [D]
[Dm] [D]
Tell you a little story and it won't [Bb] take long
About [C] a lazy [G] farmer who wouldn't call [D] his [G] corn
[Dm] [D] The reason why I could [Bb] never tell
[F]
That [C] young man, he was [D] always well
He planted his corn in the month [Bb] of June
[C] By July, man, it was up [D] to his eyes
[F]
[D] And come September, it was a great big [Bb] fire
Oh,
[C] and all that young man's corn, [D] wow
[A]
[D]
[A] [G] [D]
His story kids, you know, just [Bb] quick on
And [C] said, hey, young man, have you [D] heard some corn?
[Dm] [A]
[D] Well, I tried and I tried, and I tried [Bb] in vain
[D]
[C] But I don't believe I ever [D] raised no grain
He went down, down to his [Bb] neighbor's door
[C] Where he had been oftentimes [D] before
Saying, pretty miss, will you [Bb] marry me?
And [C] saying, hey, little miss, oh, tell me, what [D] do you say?
Why do you come for [Dm] me to [Bb] wear?
[C] You can't even make your [Dm] own corn grain
So single I am and I will [Bb] remain
You [C] know, a lazy man, I just won't [Dm] maintain it
So he turned his back, you know, he walks [Bb] away
He [C] said, hey, little miss, you know, you rule [Dm] the day
You rule the day you were [Bb] ever born
So [C] give me the devil and I [D] won't hold no corn
You rule the day [Am] you [Bb] were ever born
[C] So give me the devil and I [D] won't, oh no, no, no, [Am] no, [D] no
The Boy Who Wouldn't Hold Corn, when I first heard it, I thought,
mm, it's a bit neat, and also it's like one of those sort of
public domain pieces which splinters down the years, and sometimes [Dm] you miss,
if a verse gets missed in 1928, [D]
you begin [A] to wonder how on earth
he could just not hoe his corn and then ask somebody to marry him.
There's got to have been a verse [D] in between somewhere where he saw [Dm] her
and he threw the hoe away and went, oh, baby, you know, or something.
He turned his back and he walked [Bb]
away
[F] He said, [C]
hey, little miss, you know, you rule [D] the day
You rule the day you were ever [Bb] born
[G] So [C] give me the devil and I won't hold [D] no corn
You rule the day you were [Bb] ever born
[Em] So give me the devil and I won't
[D]
Woo!
[Dm] [D]
[N]
