Description

Now Robbin is singing a great tune called "30 Years of Farming." By James King


[NOTE: TO PLAY ALONG TO US, CAPO UP TO THE 4TH FRET!]


V1
[G] There's a little white note on the gate by the road
That a [C] man put up yester-[G]-day
And when we saw it, we all ran out
Just to [A] see what it had to [D] say [D7]

V2
And [G] when we read it, my eyes filled with tears
And they [C] fell to the old hard [G] clay
Something 'bout a mortgage, something 'bout foreclosure
An something 'bout [D] failin' to [G] pay

1st half of Chorus
Oh, and on the post by the general store
They [C] put up a little [G] sign
An auction sale, day after tomorrow
At the [A] end of, Lincoln [D] Line [D7]

2nd half:
[G] 30 years of farming, 30 years of heartache
[C] 30 years of day to [G] day
Oh, my daddy stopped talkin', the day the farm was auctioned
There was nothing [D] left to [G] say

[G] Oh, my momma's tears fell freely down
As she [C] walked among the flowers in the [G] yard
And every number, the auctioneer called
Was like a [A] blow to her precious [D] heart [D7]

And [G] every number, the auctioneer called
Meant a-[C]-nother thing was sold that [G] day
While everything was auctioned, we stood there a-watchin'
While they loaded it and [D] drove it a-[G]-way

REPEAT CHORUS

[G] As the day was dawning, we woke this morning
There was [C] nothing for us to [G] do
Nothing in the granary, no hay in the meadow
No [A] cattle, no tractor, no [D] tools [D7]

So we [G] loaded up the car, took the clothes we wore
And a [C] few things we managed to [G] save
Mama read from the book, we took one last look
And then we [D] drove a-[G]-way

REPEAT CHORUS, 1ST HALF A CAPELLA
