Verse 1
E minorEm        BB         A minorAm     G+G
The wind is blowin', the farmer is sowin' now

And soon you'll be going to seed, yes and growing oh,

Chorus 1

G+G
Careless Weed
             D MajorD    G+G
Rise beside the road and sing to me
      D MajorD        C majorC
To be where roads and rivers lead

And living without greed Careless Weed

So grow beneath the bridge and grow you in the fence row now
    C majorC        BB              G+G    A minorAm
But God help you in the farmers field 'cause he will make you weep,

with his hoe-down now,


Chorus 2

   G+G               A minorAm      G+G
Oh, Careless Weed, from across the river bed you?re calling to me

In love and without need Careless Weed

  BB     D MajorD    C majorC        A minorAm G+G   D MajorD   E minorEm  C majorC
I lean on my hoe and stare and stare, because I know I ain't really

going nowhere, oh, Nowhere
               BB              A minorAm     C majorC
And the mare, the mare, she's foalin', the tumbleweeds are rollin' now,
         BB    C majorC    G+G           A minorAm  C majorC
Movin' down the line and leavin' tracks for the wind to read


Chorus 3

    G+G     BB   E minorEm  G+G     A minorAm G+G
Oh, Careless Weed, stand beyond the hills and call to me
D MajorD               C majorC
To be where roads and rivers lead
        A minorAm    G+G
Loving without need careless weed
  A minorAm
And living without greed
  D MajorD     G+G  D MajorD

Careless Weed
