intro: A - A7 - A - A7 - A - A7 - A - A7 
 
A          A7
He gets up before the dawn 
A                   A7              A     A7
packs a lunch and a thermos full of coffee 
A                       A7
It's another day in the dusty haze 
      A                A7               A   A7
those burning rays are wearin' down his body 
    D                           C
And deisel's worth the price of gold 
             D                          A
And it's the cheapest grain he's ever sold 
                       E
But he's still holdin' on 
 
chorus 
       A                 E
And he takes the tractor another round 
    F#m                             A
and pulls the plow across the ground 
    E                D     E
And sends up another prayer 
                 A                 E
He says "Lord, I never complain, I never aske why 
    F#m                              A
but plese don't let my dreams run dry 
E           D               E        A A7 A
underneath, underneath this Amarillo Sky
 
(on second and third chorus, end like this: 
E        A   E F#m              
Amarillo Skyy 
 
That hail storm back in '83 
 
sure did take a toll on his family 
 
But he stayed strog and carried on 
 
Just like his dad and grandad did before him 
 
on his knees every night he parys 
 
please let my crops and childeren grow 
 
'cause that's all he's ever known 
 
2nd chorus 
 
Break: 
A - E - D - E 

       A                 E              D 
And he takes the tractor another round, another round 

                                (another round) 

another round, 
       A                 E              D
