The
chord progressions to this song are:
·
G, D, C, D
·
G,
Em, C, D
·
G,
D, C, D*
*Note: This D is done by doing an open C chord and
then moving it up two frets which is sort of a D chord with open G and open
high E string notes. I guess this would make the chord technically a Dsus4add9 (the
sus4 is the G note and the add9 is the E note).

If I’m walkin' by your front yard I might think
it’s pretty neat
G D C D
You got plastic covers for all your trees and your
grass is all concrete
G D C D
You paint it pretty colors but you still wake up with
fear
G
Em C D
That the pretty colors might fade away in a
hundred thousand years
G D C D
You can beat your mama but you cannot hurt her
soul

The two of you are stuck together and she ain’t
never gonna let you go

In the distant future, when your time is long
since past
G Em C D
My spirit will be laughin' as the farmer’s plow
cuts across your ass

And my friend the farmer, when he dies his work is
done

Cuz every good old farmer was once a good farmer’s
son

Don’t fear the thunder, let the lightning light
your way
