Verse 1:
D
There are tears in the eyes of the scarecrow
Bm
His head is sinkin' low
G
He tends his fields with the best of them
DA
Thinkin love can make it grow
D
But when the landlord says "Its over"
Bm
And the harvest has turned cold
G
There ain't enough to pay the man
DA
After the crops have been sold
Chorus:
GA
Tell me what do we see when we look in the mirror
DBm
He don't see no money but he sees something clearer
GDA
There's a man doin all that he can in the midst of no concern
GA
Well he ain't out in the sun tryin' to get his arms brown
DBm
He's tryin' to pull a livin' out of that ol' hard ground
GDA
These days a man and his dreams can get a little bit burned
ADBmGA
Workin' on a farmer tan, whoa-whoa whooooooaaaa whoa whoa whoa
DBmGD
Whoa-whoa whoooooaaa whoa whoa whoa
Verse 2: (same chords)
The fruits of his labor
Have dried upon the vine
He dont' want for finer things
He's wanting to get by
There are fertile fields of compassion
We have yet to turn
We educate and we nominate
But will we ever learn?
Repeat Chorus twice
