[Bb] hey there mister, _ can you [C] tell me [Gm] what happened to [F] the seeds I've sown?
Can you give me a [Bb] reason, sir, _ _ [Cm] as [F] to why they never grown?
_ _ [Eb] They just blown [F] around from town to town, till they're back out on these fields.
_ _ [Bb] Where they fall [F] from my hand, _ back into the dirt of this hard land. _ _ _ _ _
_ _ I'm me [Bb] and my sister _ _ [Cm] from [F] German town, yeah we did ride. _
_ _ Well we [Bb] made our bed, sir, _
[Fm] _ [C] from the rock on the mountain [F] side. _
We've been [Bb] blown around from [F] town to town, _ [D] looking for a place to [F] land. _ _
The sun [Bb] bursts through the clouds to [F] fall like a circle, like a circle of fire down on this hard land.
_ _ _ _ _ _ Now even [Bb] the rain [D] head don't come [Cm] round, _ [F] don't come round here no more.
_ _ And the [Bb] only sound at night is _ _ [C] [D] the wind slamming [F] that back porch door.
_ [Bb] It stirs you up like it [F] wants to blow you down, [C] twisting and churning [Fm] up the sand.
_ _ [Bb] Leaping all them scarecrows, [Fm] lying face down, face down in the dirt [F] of this hard land. _ _

_ _ _ _ _ _ From [D] a building up on [Bb] the hill, _ [C] I hear a tape deck blasting [F] home on the range.
_ _ I can see [Bb] them barring choppers, [C] _ sweeping [Fm] low across the plains.
_ [Bb] It's me and you Frank, [F] we're looking for lost cattle, [C] our hooves twisting and churning [Fm] up the sand.
_ [Bb] We're riding in the whirlwind, [F] searching for lost treasure, [Bb] way down south of [F] the Rio Grande.
_ [Bb] We're riding across that river [Fm] in the moonlight, up [C] on to the [F] banks of this hard land. _ _ _
_ _ Hey [Bb] Frank, won't you pack your bags, _ [C] _ meet me tonight [F] down at Liberty Hall.
_ _ _ Just [Bb] one kiss from you my brother, _ _ _ _ _ [C] and we'll ride [F] till we fall.
_ _ [Bb] We'll sleep in the fields, [F] we'll sleep by the rivers, and in [Gm] the morning we'll make a [F] plan.
Well if you [Bb] can't make it, stay hard, stay [F] hungry, stay alive if [Cm] you can.
