Em                  G               Em        Em7          A   Asus4  A
    Mama says she don't give a damn  ...what those people say,
Em                       G            Em       Em7   A    Asus4  A
    Cane smoke can't be good for you   ...day after day,
C                    G
    Every year at harvest time,
           D                    Em
When the black smoke filled the sky,
C                         G
    She'd pick me up and take me home,
     D       Dsus4  D             C    D
And make me         ...stay in - side------!


[Chorus]
C                 G                D           Em
   Thibodaux to Raceland, there's fire in the fields,
 C                   G                D                Em
All the way up the bayou, from La - fourche to Iber - ville,
       C            G            D            Em
Dirty air, dirty laundry, dirty money, dirty rain,
    C              G       D      Dsus4       D    Em   G
A dirty dark at daybreak burning     ...the sugar cane------!
                                                |  /  /  /  /  |

    Christmas on the bayou, midnight's come and gone,
Em                    G          Em           Em7        A   Asus4 A
    Driving past the sugar mill,     all the lights are on,
C                       G
    The parking lot is full of trucks,
       D               Em    C                      G
I can see the furnace glow,    everybody's working overtime,
        D        Dsus4  D         C     D
It's a good job         ...even though-------...

...From Thibodaux to Raceland, there's fire in the fields,
 C                   G                D               Em
All the way up the bayou from La - fourche to Iber - ville,
       C            G            D            Em
Dirty air, dirty laundry, dirty money, dirty rain,
    C              G       D      Dsus4        D    Em   G
A dirty dark at daybreak burning      ...the sugar cane------!

    First came the sugar cane, then came Thibo - daux,
Em               G                    Em    Em7          A    Asus4 A
    Cane sugar built this town, cane sugar paved these roads,
C                              G            D                    Em
    They burn the leaves to harvest cash, money for the compan - y,
C                     G
    Money makes the world go round,
  D     Dsus4  D            C     D
Money,          ...money, money-------!


[Chorus]
         C          G                D           Em
From Thibodaux to Raceland, there's fire in the fields,
 C                   G                D                Em
All the way up the bayou from La - fourche to Iber - ville,
       C            G            D            Em
Dirty air, dirty laundry, dirty money, dirty rain,
    C              G           D     Dsus4 D
A dirty dark at daybreak ...burning---------

The soot and ash are falling like a dark and deadly snow,
C                        G             D            Em
    The air is full of poison to the Gulf of Mexi - co,
       C            G             D           Em
Dirty air, dirty laundry, dirty money, dirty rain,
    C                   G       D    Dsus4       D    Em     G
A dirty deal with the Devil, burning    ...the sugar cane--------!
