Intro:
C F Am x2

Verse 1:


C                          F              Am
I worked in her fields and under her trees

    C                         F            Am
I picked all her cotton it stung me like bees

    C                    F            Am
I shoveled her dirt when no one else would

   C                     F             Am
I gave her way more than I ever should

    F                                 Am
but I'm still here with nothing whatsoever

        G                      F      Am   G
So I'm gonna work on Maggie's farm forever

Verse 2:


  C                            F         Am
I ground down my knuckles for nothing at all

          C                      F            Am
And I've worked on my knees till I couldn't crawl

C                             F           Am
I've felt so worthless I can hardly recall

   C                       F                Am
a time before she had me trapped in her wall

    F                                      Am
the odds of me leaving are slim to almost never

           G                      F      Am
yeah, I'm gonna work on Maggie's farm forever

Verse 3:


      C                     F          Am
I've song to myself in the darkest of nights

     C                    F         Am
of freedom above me where all is alright

      C                     F              Am
But I wake up so cold on a cracked wooden floor

    C                          F       Am
and I've got to admit I'm not sure anymore

        F                             Am
yeah I live in this endless misery however,

     G                      F      Am   G
I'm gonna work on Maggie's farm forever

Verse 4:


      C                     F       Am
I've dreamed to myself with no one around

    C                      F            Am
of burning her plantation down to the ground

     C                             Fmaj7      Am
and watching her scream from her third story room

     C                   F              Am
and light up my shovel wheelbarrow and broom

     C                            F       Am
all burned to the point you could never exhume

     C                       F       Am
the filthiest past one could ever endure

            G                       Am
and her/his ashes will smolder the finest perfume

   F                          Am
if I have the strength to get out of this/his room

     F                           Am
But I know no other living whatsoever

     G                               F      Am
I'm gonna work on Maggie's farm forever

            G                       F      Am
Yeah, I'm gonna work on Maggie's farm forever
