We Dont Grow Tobacco

capo 2 G hardest work that ever i done , was done beneath that burning sun D G hauling that tobacco around to cure . i would chop that wicked weed til my hands and fingers bleed D G working like a mule maybe more C G we’ve been farming on this land since 1810 Em C D through flood , drought and pestilence and war G now i sure Am sad to say that i lived to see this day D G and we don’t grow tobacco around here no more! Chorus : C G we don’t grow , we don’t grow D oh , it’s still the only work we’ll ever know C G well , we don’t grow , we don’t grow D G we don’t grow tobacco around here no more! G grandpa told me this , i know change is coming won’t be slow D G knocking just like a thunder at the door barren fields are all around , empty barns just falling down D G well iron weeds coming up through the floor C G once we growed it by the pound now the kids all moved to town Em C D and all that’s left are elderly and poor G now i sure Am sad to say that i will live to see this day D G and we don’t grow tobacco around 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 well , we don’t grow , we don’t grow D G we don’t grow tobacco around here no more! whoooo yes i sure Am sad to say this way of life has gone away D G now that we don’t grow tobacco around here no more D G well , no we don’t grow tobacco around here no more!
