Farm On The Freeway

here are the chords for a great tull song that don`t exist yet for some reason . now they do and you can go play it . the chords might not be exactly above the proper words but you`re smart and know where they go . Em C Em C nine miles of two - strand topped with barbed wire C D Em laid by the father for the son . Em C Em C good shelter down there on the valley floor , C D Em down by where the sweet stream run . C D ( Am G ) Em now they might give me compensation F Em F C Em C that’s not what i’m chasing . i was a rich man before yesterday . Em C Em C now all i have got is a cheque and a pickup truck . C D i left my farm on the freeway . repeat that for the rest of the song . they’re busy building airports on the south side silicon chip factory on the east . and the big road’s pushing through along the valley floor . hot machine pouring six lanes at the very least . they say they gave me compensation that’s not what i’m chasing . i was a rich man before yesterday . now all i have left is a broken - down pickup truck . looks like my farm is a freeway . they forgot they told us what this old land was for . grow two tons the acre , boy , between the stones . this was no southfork , it was no ponderosa . but it was the place that i called home . they say they gave me compensation that’s not what i’m chasing . i was a rich man before yesterday . and what do i want with a million dollars and a pickup truck? when i left my farm under the freeway . have fun .
