G I've got a spade and a pick-axe C And a hundred miles square of land to churn about G My old horse is weary but sincerely C I believe that he can pull a plough F Well, I've moved into the jungle of the agriculture rumble, C To grow my own food G And I'll dig and plough and scrape the weeds C 'til I succeed in seeing cabbage growing through Chorus: G Now I'm a farmer And I'm digging, digging, digging, C digging, digging Now I'm a farmer And I'm digging, digging, digging, digging, digging C It's alarming how charming it is to be a-farming How calming and balming the effect of the air Well, I farmed for a year and grew a crop of corn That stretched as far as the eye can see That's a whole lot of cornflakes Near enough to feed New York till 1973 Cultivation is my station and the nation Buys my corn from me immediately And holding sixty thousand bucks, I watch as dumper trucks Tip New York's corn flakes in the sea Chorus It's alarming how charming it is to be a-farming How calming and balming the effect of the air Now look here, son The right thing to say Isn't necessarily what you wanna say The right thing to do Isn't necessarily what you wanna do The right things to grow Ain't necessarily what you wanna grow Your own happiness Doesn't necessarily teach you what you wanna know Well I'm suntanned and deep, so's the horse And my hands are deeply grained Old horse is a-grazing, it's amazing Just how lazily he took the strain Well my pick and spade are rusty 'Cause I'm paid on trust To leave my square of cornfield bare It's alarming how charming it is to be a-farming How calming and balming the effect of the air When you grow what I grow Tomatoes, potatoes, stew Eggplants Potatoes, tomatoes, ha Gourds You can simplify chords by removing barre | TransposeReset Font SizeReset Guitar Chord DiagramsC  F  G  Here you can see detailed diagrams for each guitar chord used in the song.
