[Verse 1]
    D 
 His cows get loose and run right through 
    Cadd9             G
 The fast food parkin' lots
    D                      
 And Daddy gets calls from the mini-malls 
             Cadd9             G
 When they're downwind from his hogs
         Cadd9
 When his tractor backs up traffic 
      G
 The reception ain't too warm
    D
 The city's growin around him
    G
 But Daddy won't sell the farm


[Chorus]
                 D
 You can't roll a rock up a hill that steep
    Cadd9                      G
 You can't pull roots when they run that deep
                    D                          Cadd9
 He's gonna live and die in the eye of an urban storm
G                   D     D Cadd9 G/B D
 Daddy won't sell the farm


[Verse 2]
   D
 He worked and slaved in '68 
    Cadd9                   G
 And bought these fields and trees
   D
 He raised his corn in a big red barn 
      Cadd9       G
 And a healthly family
   Cadd9
 He learned to love the woodlands
         G
 He can't stand to do em harm
        D
 There's concrete all around him 
    G
 But Daddy won't sell the farm


[Chorus]
                 D
 You can't roll a rock up a hill that steep
    Cadd9                      G
 You can't pull roots when they run that deep
                    D                          Cadd9
 He's gonna live and die in the eye of an urban storm
G                    D     Cadd9
 Daddy won't sell the farm


[Bridge]
Cadd9                       G
 One day he's gonna leave it all to me
         D
 And I'll start my own branch of the family tree
Cadd9                   G                          A
 They'll get the message written on the roof of the barn
                     D
 Daddy won't sell the farm
