[Intro 1]
[G][D][C][D][G][Am][C]
[D][G][D][C][D][G][Am][D][G]

[Verse 1]
Watch [G]the field
behind the plow turn to [D]straight, [C]dark [G]rows
Feel the [D]trickle [Am]in your clothes,
blow the [G]dust [C]cake [D]from your nose
Hear [G]the [D]tractor's steady roar,
[G]Oh you[D] can't sto[G]p now[C][G]
There's a [D]quarter sec[Am]tion
more [D]or less to [G]go
And it figures that the rain keeps
its [D]own [C]sweet [G]time
You can [Am]watch it come for miles,
but you [C]guess you've got [D]a while
So ease [G]the throttle out [D]a h[G]air,
every [D]rod's [C]a gai[G]n
And there's [Am]victory in
[D]every quarter mile
[G]

[Verse 2]
Poor [D]old Kuzyk down the road
The [Em]heartache,
hail and [C]hoppers [G]brought him down
He gave it up and [Am]went [A]to tow[D]n
And Emmett Pierce the other day
Took a [Em]heart attack and
[C]died [G]at forty two
You could see it [Am]com i[D]ng on 'cause
he worked as hard as you
[C][G][Am]

[Verse 3]
In an [G]hour, may[D]be [G]more,
you'll be [D]wet [C]clear [G]through
The [Am]air is cooler now,
pull you [C]hat brim further [D]down
And watch the [G]field be[D]hind the plow
[G]turn to str[D]aight dar[C]k row[G]s
Put an[Am]other season's [D]promise in [G]the ground

[Interlude 1]
[D][C][G][Am]
[C][D][G][D][C][G][Am][D]
[G]

[Verse 4]
And if the [D]harvest's any good
[Em]The money just might [C]cover
[G]all the loans
You've mortgaged [Am]all you o[D]wn
Buy the kids a winter coat
Take [Em]the wife back east for
[C]Christmas if you [G]can
All summer she [Am]hang [A]s on[D] when
you're so tied to the land
[C][G][Am]

[Verse 5]
For the good [G]times come and go,
but at [D]least there's [G]rain
So this [Am]won't be barren ground
when [C]September rolls [G]around
[D]So watch the[G] field behin[D]d the
[G]plow turn to [D]straight [C]dark [G]rows
Put an[Am]other season's
[D]promise in [G]the ground
Watch the field be[D]hind the plow
[G]turn to str[D]aight dar[C]k row[G]s
Put an[Am]other season's [D]promise

[Outro 1]
in the ground
