We Don't Grow Tobacco Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Intro 1]
[G][Gm][G][D][Asus4][A][G]

[Verse 1]
Hardest [G]work that ever I done
Been beneath that burning sun
Hauling to[D]bacco [A]around to [G]cure
I would chop that wicked weed
Till our hands and fingers bleed
Working like a [D]mule, [Asus4]may be mo[A]re
[G]

[Verse 2]
We been [C]farming on this [Am]land
Since [G]eighteen hundred ten
Through [E]flood, [Em]drought,
[E]pes[A]tilence and war[D][A][D]
Now I [G]sure am sad to say
That I've lived to see this day
And we don't grow to[D]bacco
around here no [G]more
[D]We don't grow,

[Verse 3]
[G]we don't grow
Oh, it's still the only work
we'll ever [D]know[A][D]
[A]We [D]don't [C]grow, [Am]we don't gr[G]ow
We don't grow to[D]bacco around
here no [G]more
[D][A][D][G]

[Verse 4]
[D]Grandpa [G]told me this, I know
Change is coming, won't be slow
Knocking just like [D]a thunder [A]at the [G]door
Fallow fields are all around
Empty barns just falling down
With iron weeds [D]coming up
[Asus4]through t[A]he floor
[G]

[Verse 5]
Once we [C]growed it by the pound
[Am]Now the kids[G] all moved to town
And [E]all that's left are [A]elderly and [D]poor
Now I [G]sure am sad to say
That I've lived to see this day
And we don't grow to[D]bacco
around [A]here no [G]more
[D]We [G]don't grow,

[Verse 6]
we don't grow
Oh, it's still the only work
we'll ever [D]know[A][D]
[A]We don't [D]grow, [C]we [Am]don'[G]t grow
We don't grow tobac[D]co around [A]here
[D]no [G]more

[Interlude 1]
[G][C][Am][G][E][Em][A][D]

[Verse 7]
[D]Ooh, yes, I [G]sure am sad to say
This way of life has gone away
Now that we don't grow to
[D]bacco around here no [G]more
[D]Well, no,[A] we [G]don't grow to
[D]bacco around [A]here no [G]more[G]
