We Don't Grow Tobacco Teclado

	  
 

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



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

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

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

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

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