Throw a capo on the third fret and this should sound about right.
G
Hardest work that ever I done, bent beneath that burnin’ sun
D G
Haulin’ that tobacco ‘round to cure
How we chopped that wicked weed ‘till our hands and fingers bleed
D G
Workin’ like a mule, maybe more
C
We been farmin’ on this land
G
Since eighteen hundred ten
A
Through flood and drought
D
And pestilence and war
G
Now I sure am sad to say
That I’ve lived to see this day
D
When we don’t grow tobacco
G
‘Round here no more
G
We don’t grow, we don’t grow
D
Oh, it’s still the only work we’ll ever know
C G
We don’t grow, we don’t grow
D G
We don’t grow tobacco ‘round here no more
G
Granpa told me, this I know, change is comin’, won’t be slow
D G
Knockin’ just like thunder at the door
Fallow fields are all around, empty barns just fallin’ down
D G
Iron weeds comin’ up through the floor
C
Once we growed it by the pound
G
Now the kids all move to town
A D
And all that’s left are elderly and poor
G
Now I sure and sad to say
That I’ve lived to see the day
D
When we don’t grow tobacco
G
‘Round here no more
C G
We don’t grow, we don’t grow
D
Oh, it’s still the only work we’ll ever know
C G
We don’t grow, we don’t grow
D G
We don’t grow tobacco ‘round here no more
G
Yes, I sure am sad to say this way of life has gone away
D G
Now that we don’t grow tobacco ‘round here no more
D G
We don’t grow tobacco ‘round here no more |

| I just realized that Kevin has the perfect voice for this one ... for the verses, anyhow, chorus is a bit out of reach. I really need to hear a Kevin-lead Tobacco now. |
