[Chorus 1]

Corn in the fields

Listen to the rice when the wind blows 'cross the water

I work for the union 'cause she's so good to me
Am F F/E-Dm E7
And I'm bound to come out on top that's where I should be
[Pre-Chorus]
Am Bb C |F G|
I will hear ev'ry word the boss may say
Am Bb C |F G|
For he's the one who hands me down my pay
Am Bb C |F G|
Looks like this time I'm gonna get to stay
Am Bb C Am-G-Bb-F
I'm a union man, now, all the way
[Chorus 2]

The smell of the leaves

Dry summer, then come fall

Hey, rainmaker, can you hear the call?

Please let these crops grow tall

Am Bb C |F G|
Long enough I've been up on Skid Row
Am Bb C |F G|
And it's plain to see, I've nothin to show

I'm glad to pay those union dues
Am Bb C Am-G-Bb-F
Just don't judge me by my shoes
[Chorus 3]

Scarecrow and a yellow moon

Last year, this time, wasn't no joke

My whole barn went up in smoke
Am F F/E
My horse Jethro, well he went mad
Dm E7
And I can't ever remember things being that bad
[Pre-Chorus 3]
Am Bb C |F G|
Then here comes a man with a paper and a pen
Am Bb C |F G|
Tellin' us our hard times are about to end
Am Bb C |F G|
And then, if they don't give us what we like
Am Bb C Am-G-Bb-F
He said, "Men, that's when you gotta go on strike"
[Chorus 4]
C5 Bb5
Corn in the fields
G# Eb5 D5 C5
Listen to the rice when the wind blows 'cross the water
F/A Fm/G# C
King Harvest has surely come
