I'm Just A Farmer Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Intro 1]
[D]

[Verse 1]
He [D]said, [G]Hi, I'm Ted Lomas
And I'm running for Congress
And I sure would appreciate your [D]vote
I got a small farm just out of Whitefield
A few cows and a big mortgage [G]note
He was a charmer to the poor
man and the farmer
And all of us naturally [C]knew
We'd finally found us a [G]voice
for the Congress
Singin' [D]I'm just a farmer like [G]you
From the beginning, it was a horse race
Nip and tug to the [D]end
When the last vote was counted,
old Teddy had just made it
They called it a great people's [G]win
And he moved to D .C. where
he found it easy
Cracking the lobbyist [C]blues
As his wealth kept growing
he [G]held to the slogan
[D]Saying, I'm just a farmer like [G]you
[C]I'm just a farmer like you
[G]I wear the same broke -ass shoes
The [D]kids sing the parody blues
Singin' I'm just a farmer
like [G]you[D][C][D]
[G]He kept his farm down
in Menlo County
Where each year he'd have a big [D]sale
And the oilmen and the bankers
and the big road contractors
Would be there come rain or come [G]hail
And everyone knew that
they paid more money
For cow than the meat packers [C]do
When it was the right time,
[G]he'd make the headline
Sayin' [D]I'm just a farmer like [G]you
It's been a long time
since Ted got elected
The farmers have had a long [D]wait
Me, I'm still mortgaged up to my neck
And old Teddy owns half of the [G]state
They say he's retiring
Some new guys aspiring
He's just an old poor boy [C]too
And he's leading the strikers
It's [G]driving their tractors
[D]Singing, I'm just a farmer like [G]you[D][G]
[C]I'm just a farmer like you
[G]I wear the same Rogan shoes
[D]It sang the parity blues, singing
I'm just a bummer like [G]you.
[C]I'm just a bummer like you,
[G]I wear the same broken shoe.
[D]It sang the parity blues, singing
I'm just a bummer like you.
