Capo 2

        G5
Hardest work that ever I done, was done beneath that burning sun
             D5               G5
Hauling that tobacco around to cure.
      
I would chop that wicked weed til my hands and fingers bleed
              D5             G5
Working like a mule maybe more
          C5                           G5
We've been farming on this land since 1810
        E5                  C5              D5
Through flood, drought and pestilence and war
      G5
Now I sure am sad to say that I lived to see this day
                  D5                       G5
And we don't grow tobacco around here no more!

Chorus:

         C5              G5
We don't grow, we don't grow
                                         D5
Oh, it's still the only work we'll ever know
               C5              G5
Well, we don't grow, we don't grow
              D5                       G5
We don't grow tobacco around here no more!

        G5
Grandpa told me this, I know Change is coming won't be slow
                    D5               G5
Knocking just like a thunder at the door

Barren fields are all around, empty barns just falling down
                D5                    G5
Well Iron weeds coming up through the floor
        C5                              G5
Once we growed it by the pound Now the kids all moved to town
    E5                  C5           D5
And all that's left are elderly and poor
      G5
Now I sure am sad to say That I will live to see this day
                  D5                     G5
And we don't grow tobacco around here no more

         C5              G5
We don't grow, we don't grow
                                         D5
Oh, it's still the only work we'll ever know
               C5              G5
Well, we don't grow, we don't grow
              D5                       G5
We don't grow tobacco around here no more!

Whoooo yes I sure am sad to say This way of life has gone away
                        D5                     G5
Now that we don't grow tobacco around here no more
                       D5                      G5
Well, No we don't grow tobacco around here no more!
