Intro: D MajorD G+G x2

     B minorBm           G+G      D MajorD
He knows every stone that?s been struck by the plow
     B minorBm     G+G      A augmentedA
There?s a pile by the barn by the sweat of his brow

  B minorBm      G+G       D MajorD
The land has his heart and he rarely complains
    A augmentedA            D MajorD
And it holds his knees when he prays for rain

    B minorBm     G+G        D MajorD
He?s a dusty old carhartt and the light in the barn
   B minorBm      G+G       A augmentedA
He?ll work the late hours and he?s up before dawn
   B minorBm    G+G       D MajorD
Every man has a story and the story goes on
   A augmentedA         G+G
From grandad?s eyes to a new born son

    D MajorD               A augmentedA
Why I farm is in my blood, like the sunlight is on my skin
  D MajorD           G+G
Is who I meant to be, is who I?ve always been
  D MajorD              A augmentedA
Is more than just a living, it?s my way of life
    G+G     A augmentedA    B minorBm    G+G
And it grows like seed inside my heart
      D MajorD   G+G
That?s why I farm

  B minorBm      G+G        D MajorD
We always pull through when we thought we would brake
    B minorBm   G+G     A augmentedA
In the flood ?93, in the draught ?88
  B minorBm      G+G      D MajorD
The Lord has his timing ?cause only he knows
     A augmentedA          G+G
That when next year comes the crops will grow

    D MajorD               A augmentedA
Why I farm is in my blood, like the sunlight is on my skin
  D MajorD           G+G
Is who I meant to be, is who I?ve always been
  D MajorD              A augmentedA
Is more than just a living, it?s my way of life
    G+G     A augmentedA    B minorBm    G+G
And it grows like seed inside my heart
      D MajorD   C majorC
That?s why I farm
      B minorBm   A augmentedA
That?s why I farm

     G+G                   B minorBm
Tough the world may shake around me, still I am stable [Still I am stable]
          A augmentedA                G+G
For as long as I am able [I am able], I?ll work this way [It?s who I am]
      G+G                   B minorBm
?Cause when heaven comes this close to what you?re holding [Holding]
          A augmentedA
This life is but a moment in a bigger plan

   D MajorD               C majorC
Why I farm is in my blood, like the sunlight is on my skin [That?s why I farm]
  B minorBm           G+G
Is who I meant to be, is who I?ve always been
  D MajorD              A augmentedA
Is more than just a living, it?s my way of life
    G+G     A augmentedA    B minorBm    G+G
And it grows like seed inside my heart
        A augmentedA   B minorBm  G+G
Living on long after I depart
      D MajorD   G+G
That?s why I farm
      D MajorD   G+G
That?s why I farm
