Pulling Out The Farmer (By The Roots)                                       Jim Mohr

D                                                       G                                                        D
No one feels the hardship like the farmer who learned to worship his land
        D                                           G                                    A
The Earth was his test, he was doing the best with his hands
       D                                              G                                        D
But times are hard and lean, the worst I've ever seen for a while
              D                            G                              A          D
And it's been a long time, since I've seen that farmer smile

            D                             G                                          D
But he never complained, when it doesn't rain in the spring
            D                                              G                                              A
'Cause bad weather never stops, a farmer growing crops in his dreams
D                                           G                                          D
But now agriculture, the severest form of torture that I know
                     D                           G                   A                    D
He's got his back to the barn, not knowing which way to go

                  G                                         F#m                            G                            A
And we're plowing through his field, briefcase concealed under our 3 piece suits
                 G                                A                            D               Bm
'Cause a banker won't take a chance, making a livin' off of plants
                   G        F#m     Em           A         D
And we're pulling out the farmer .... by the roots
