Careless Weed

A minorAm     D MajorD    DmDm      A minorAm
The wind is blowin', the farmer is sowin' now
DmDm         Bm7Bm7   E minorEm      FF
And soon you'll be going to seed, yes and growing,

C majorC         Fmaj7Fmaj7          C majorC
Oh, Careless Weed, rise beside the road and sing to me
  Dm7Dm7   E minorEm    FF   D MajorD
To be where roads and rivers lead
  FF       G+G       C majorC    A minorAm
And living without greed Careless Weed


So grow beneath the bridge and grow you in the fence row now
But God help you in the farmers field 'cause he will make you weep,
with his hoe-down now,

Oh, Careless Weed, from across the river bed you’re calling to me
To be where roads and rivers lead
In love and without need Careless Weed

E minorEm   Fmaj7Fmaj7 G+G         C majorC
I lean on my hoe and stare and stare,
     E minorEm  Fmaj7Fmaj7  G+G      C majorC
Because I know I ain't really going nowhere,
  G+G FF E minorEm DmDm
Oh, Nowhere

And the maree, she's foalin', the tumbleweeds are rollin' now,
Movin' down the line and leavin' tracks for the wind to read

Oh, Careless Weed, stand beyond the hills and call to me
To be where roads and rivers lead
And living without greed Careless Weed
