{c:|nstead of [D] & [D7], play [D7] 2,2,2,3 & [D9] 2,4,2,3}
[G]Dusty old [G6]farmer out [G]working your [G6]fields
Hanging [G]down over [G6]your tractor [D]wheel [D7]
The [D]sun beatin' [D7]down turns the [D]red paint to [D7]orange
And [D]rusty old [D7]patches of [G]steel [G6]
There's [G]no farmer [G6]songs on that [G]car radi-[G6]o
Just [G]cowboys, truck [G6]drivers and [C]pain [C]
Well [C]this is my [Am]way to say [G]thanks for the [Em]meal
And I [D7]hope there's no [D]shortage of [G]rain [G6] [G] [G6]
{c:CHORUS:}
{soc}
[G]Straw hat and [G6]old dirty [G]hankies [G6]
[G]Moppin' a [G6]face like a [D]shoe [D7]
[D]Thanks for the [D7]meal here's a [D]song that is [D7]real
From a [D]kid from the [D7]city to [G]you [G6]
[G]Straw hat and [G6]old dirty [G]hankies [G6]
[G]Moppin' a [G6]face like a [D]shoe [D7]
[D]Thanks for the [D7]meal here's a [D]song that is [D7]real
From a [D]kid from the [D7]city to [G]you [G6] [G] [G6]
{eoc}
The [G]combines gang [G6]up, take [G]most of the [G6]bread
Things [G]just ain't like [G6]they used to [D]be [D7]
Though your [D]kids are out [D7]after the A-[D]merican [D7]dream
And they're [D]workin’ in [D7]big factor-[G]ies [G6]
[G]If I come [G6]by, when you're [G]out in the [G6]sun
Can I [G]wave at you [G6]just like a [C]friend [C]
[C]These days when [Am]everyone's [G]taking so [Em]much
There's [D7]somebody [D]giving back [G]in [G6] [G] [G6]
{c:CHORUS:}
{soc}
[G]Straw hat and [G6]old dirty [G]hankies [G6]
[G]Moppin' a [G6]face like a [D]shoe [D7]
[D]Thanks for the [D7]meal here's a [D]song that is [D7]real
From a [D]kid from the [D7]city to [G]you [G6]
