Arkansas Farmboy
Glen Campbell

Intro D MajorD G+G D MajorD A7A7 D MajorD


The seventh son born
   G+G    D MajorD
to an Arkansas farmer
   B minorBm      G+G     D MajorD   A7A7
And a hard workin` mother of twelve
  D MajorD
Who never could find
  G+G     D MajorD
any time or a dollar
   G+G       A augmentedA    D MajorD
That she could just spend on herself

I remember things now
    G+G     D MajorD
that my daddy once told me
  B minorBm      G+G     D MajorD   A7A7
The old men grew wiser with time
   D MajorD
And a life on the farm
     G+G       D MajorD
that in a boy`s view was awful
  G+G        A augmentedA     D MajorD  A7A7
Has changed in these same older eyes

    D MajorD              A augmentedA      D MajorD
Oh the weeds have grown high on the farm back in Dixie
               B minorBm
Where cotton and corn used to grow
    D MajorD             G+G    D MajorD
And the memories run wild in this Arkansas farmboy
         A augmentedA      D MajorD  A7A7
Who`d give all he owns just to go

D MajorD G+G D MajorD A7A7 D MajorD G+G D MajorD A7A7 D MajorD

A augmentedA  D MajorD
I recall how grandaddy
G+G      D MajorD
held me and taught me
  B minorBm   A augmentedA     D MajorD    A7A7
The melody to `In The Pines`
   D MajorD
On a five-dollar guitar
   G+G    D MajorD
that led to a fortune
  G+G       A augmentedA     D MajorD  A7A7
I`d trade just to go back in time

    D MajorD              A augmentedA      D MajorD
Oh the weeds have grown high on the farm back in Dixie
               B minorBm
Where cotton and corn used to grow
    D MajorD             G+G    D MajorD
And the memories run wild in this Arkansas farmboy
         A augmentedA      D MajorD
Who`d give all he owns just to go

                  A augmentedA      D MajorD
Oh the weeds have grown high on the farm back in Dixie
               B minorBm
Where cotton and corn used to grow
    D MajorD             G+G    D MajorD
And the memories run wild in this Arkansas farmboy
         A augmentedA      D MajorD  A augmentedA
Who`d give all he owns just to go

D MajorD G+G D MajorD A7A7 D MajorD G+G D MajorD A7A7 D MajorD
