  TROUBLE IN THE FIELDS

  By Nanci Griffith and Rick West

  

  G      C                   Bm                  C

  Baby I know that we've got trouble in the fields

           G                    C 

  When the bankers swarm like locusts out there 

  D7                   G  Gsus

  turning away our yields

  G               C            Bm               C

  The trains roll by our silo, silver in the rain

                G               C         

  And leave our pockets full of nothing 

           D7                       G   C/G

  but our dreams and the golden grain

  

  

  Chorus:

  

  G            C               D7sus

  And all this trouble in our fields

          G        G/B         C

  If this rain can fall, these wounds can heal

                  D7               G  C  G

  They'll never take our native soil

             C                  D7

  What if we sell that new John Deere?

                 G           G/B        C

  And then we'll work these crops with sweat and tear

                     G                 Am7

  You'll be the mule, I'll be the plow; 

                    Bm7             C

  Come harvest time we'll work it out

                  Am7 

  There's still a lot of love, 

  D7                          G  Gsus

  here in these troubled fields

  

  

  Have you seen the folks in line downtown at the station?

  They're all buying their tickets out 

  and they're talking the great depression

  Our parents had their hard times fifty years ago

  When they stood out in these empty fields in 

  dust as deep as snow

  

  Chorus

  

  There's a book up on the shelf about those dust bowl days

  And there's a little bit of me and a little bit of you 

  in the photos on every page

  Now our children live out in the city

  and they rest upon our shoulders

  They never want this rain to fall 

  or the weather to get colder

  

  Chorus
