         Bm                      G            D
He knows every stone that?s been struck by the plow
          Bm          G           A
There?s a pile by the barn by the sweat of his brow

    Bm           G             D
The land has his heart and he rarely complains
       A                       D
And it holds his knees when he prays for rain

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

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

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

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

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

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