D
[Verse 1]
DD/C
He gets up before the dawn,
D/BD/BbD
packs a lunch and a thermos full of coffee,
DD/C
It's another day in the dusty haze,
D/BD/BbD
it's burnin rays are wearin down his body,
G
Diesel's worth the price of gold,
D
it's the cheapest grain he's ever sold,
A
but he's still holdin on,
[Chorus]
DA
He just takes the tractor another round,
Em7G - D
and pulls the plow across the ground,
AEm7 - G
And sends up another prayer,
DA
He says Lord I never complain, I never ask why,
Em7G - D
Please don't let my dreams run dry,
AEm7GD
Underneath, underneath this Amarillo Sky,
[Verse 2]
DD/C
That hail storm back in 83'
D/BD/BbD
sure did take a toll on his family,
DD/C
He stayed strong and carried on,
D/BD/BbD
just like his dad and grand-dad did before him,
G
On his knees every night he prays,
D
please let my crops and children grow,
A
Cause that's all he's ever known,
[Chorus]
DA
He just takes the tractor another round,
Em7G - D
and pulls the plow across the ground,
AEm7 - G
And sends up another prayer,
DA
He says Lord I never complain, I never ask why,
Em7GD
PLease don't let my dreams run dry,
AEm7GDAEm7G
UNderneath, underneath this Amarillo Sk---y-----y---y
[Solo]
D - A - Em7 - G
[Chorus]
DA
And he just takes the tractor another round,
Em7G
another round, another round,
DA
And he just takes the tractor another round,
Em7G
another round,
DA
He says I never complain, I never ask why,
Em7G - D
PLease don't let my dreams run dry,
AEm7GDAEm7G
