Verse:
  FF
You never know what the future holds
             DmDm FF   DmDm FF
in the shallow soil of Monsanto, Monsanto
  FF
The moon is full and the seeds are sown
               DmDm FF   DmDm FF
while the farmer toils for Monsanto, Monsanto
   Bb majorBb            A minorAm       C majorC  FF
When these seeds rise they're ready for the pesticide
   Bb majorBb        A minorAm     C majorC   FF     DmDm FF   DmDm FF
And Roundup comes and brings the poison tide of Monsanto, Monsanto

Verse:
   FF                         DmDm FF   DmDm FF
The farmer knows he's got to grow what he can sell, Monsanto, Monsanto
   FF
So he signs a deal for GMOs
               DmDm FF   DmDm FF
that makes life hell with Monsanto, Monsanto
Bb majorBb      A minorAm    C majorC    FF
Every year he buys the patented seeds
Bb majorBb          A minorAm      C majorC    FF    DmDm FF
Poison-ready they're what the corporation needs, Monsanto

Interlude:
FF     DmDm FF  DmDm FF     FF     DmDm FF  DmDm FF

Verse:
FF
When you shop for your daily bread
            DmDm FF  DmDm FF
and walk the aisles of Safeway, Safeway
FF
Find the package to catch your eye
            DmDm FF    DmDm FF
that makes you smile at Safeway, at Safeway
Bb majorBb           A minorAm      C majorC       FF
Choose a picture of an old red barn on a field of green
     Bb majorBb
With the farmer and his wife
       A minorAm   C majorC     FF    DmDm FF    DmDm FF
and children to complete the scene at Safeway, at Safeway


Verse:
FF
Dreams of the past come flooding back
             DmDm FF    DmDm FF
to the farmer's mind, his mother and father
FF
Family seeds they used to save
              DmDm FF   DmDm FF
were gifts from God, not Monsanto, Monsanto
Bb majorBb          A minorAm      C majorC    FF
Their own child grows ill near the poisoned crops
   Bb majorBb         A minorAm      C majorC       FF
While they work on, they can't find an easy way to stop,
  DmDm FF   DmDm FF
Monsanto, Monsanto

and let us not go with Monsanto, Monsanto
  A augmentedA         G# minorG#m   BB     E MajorE
The seeds of life are not what they once were

Mother Nature and God don't own them anymore
