Arkansas Farmboy
Glen Campbell

Intro  D G D A7 D


The seventh son born
      G        D
to an Arkansas farmer
      Bm           G         D      A7
And a hard workin` mother of twelve
    D
Who never could find
    G         D
any time or a dollar
     G              A        D
That she could just spend on herself

I remember things now
        G          D
that my daddy once told me
    Bm           G          D     A7
The old men grew wiser with time
      D
And a life on the farm
          G              D
that in a boy`s view was awful
    G                A          D    A7
Has changed in these same older eyes

       D                            A            D
Oh the weeds have grown high on the farm back in Dixie
                              Bm
Where cotton and corn used to grow
        D                         G        D
And the memories run wild in this Arkansas farmboy
                  A            D   A7
Who`d give all he owns just to go

D G D A7 D  G D A7 D

A   D
I recall how grandaddy
G           D
held me and taught me
    Bm     A          D       A7
The melody to `In The Pines`
     D
On a five-dollar guitar
     G        D
that led to a fortune
    G             A          D    A7
I`d trade just to go back in time

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

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