Captain Tractor    ACOUSTIC


VERSE 1
C majorC                   FF        G+G      C majorC
Well I used to be a farmer,      and I made  a living    fine.
FF          C majorC          G+G
I had a little  stretch of land   along the CP line.
C majorC                          FF        G+G     C majorC
But times went by and though I tried  ,       the money  wasn't  there,
FF           C majorC            G+G
and the bankers came  and took my land  and told me fair is fair.


PRECHORUS
A minorAm                   D MajorD
I looked for every kind of job  the answer always no,
A minorAm                        G+G
Hire you now they always laughed  we just let 20 go
A minorAm                        D MajorD
The government they promised me  a measly a little sum
A minorAm                          G+G
But I've got too much pride to end up  just another bum,
A augmentedA                         DmDm
Then I thought who gives a damn   if all the jobs are gone,
D MajorD                  G+G
I'm gonna be a pirate, on the  river Saskatchewan

CHORUS
      C majorC    C majorC    FF    G+G    C majorC
And it's a heave  ho  coming  down  the plains
FF            C majorC        G+G
Stealing wheat  and barley  and all the other grains
      C majorC   C majorC   FF      G+G      C majorC
And it's a ho  hey  farmers  bar your  doors
FF        C majorC          G+G           C majorC
When you see  the Jolly Rodger  on Regina's mighty  shores
FF C majorC G+G C majorC
WHISTLING


VERSE 2  (no prechorus)

C majorC                FF      G+G    C majorC
Well you think the local farmers would know that I'm at large
FF           C majorC           G+G
But just the other day I found an unprotected barge
C majorC              FF    G+G     C majorC
I snuck up right behind them and they were none the wiser
FF         C majorC        G+G
I rammed the ship and sank it and stole the fertilizer.
C majorC              FF    G+G     C majorC
Bridge outside of Moose Jaw spans the mighty river
FF       C majorC           G+G
Farmers cross with so much fear their stomach are a-quiver,
C majorC                    FF    G+G   C majorC
'Cause they know that Captain Tractor's hiding in the bay
FF          C majorC          G+G
I'll jump the bridge and knock 'em cold and sail off with their hayyyyy

CHORUS

And it's a ho      hi    coming  down  the plains

And it's a hey  ho  farmers  bar your  doors
FF        C majorC          G+G           C majorC

FF C majorC G+G C majorC

VERSE 3
C majorC               FF   G+G       C majorC
Well mountie Bob he chased me, he was always at my throat.
FF         C majorC          G+G
He followed on the shore lines cause he didn't own a boat.
C majorC                  FF     G+G    C majorC
But the cutbacks were coming and the mountie lost his job,
FF          C majorC      G+G        C majorC
So now he's sailing with me and we calls him Salty Bob.

A augmentedA swinging sword and skull and bones  and pleasant company,
A minorAm                G+G
I never pay my income tax and  screw the GST (Screw it!)
A minorAm              D MajorD
Sailing down to Saskatoon   the terror of the sea,
A minorAm                   G+G
If you want to reach the co-op boy   you gotta get by me
HA-HAR
