Chords for Chuck Mitchell sings "The Haying Song" by David Mallett

_ _ [G] _ _ _ [C] _ _ _
_ [Em] _ _ _ _ [F] _ _ _
_ [G] _ _ _ _ [C] There's a song [Em] that takes you back to your [F] own growing up [G] time, _ _ _ [C] _ _ _
_ [Em] _ _ _ _ [F] _ when I heard [G] daddy was a train on [C] the gridlock, he taught [Em] _ philosophers, _ [F] and I loved it [G] from the first.
_ [C] _ _
And [Em] this song, [C] I'll play it now. _
_ [D] _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ [G] _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ [C] _ _ _ _ [Dm] _ _
_ _ [C] _ _ _ _ [Dm] _ _
_ _ [C] _ _ _ _ [G] _ _
_ _ [C] _ _ _ _ _ _
_ When the _ _ [Dm] raspberry's [A] first in [C] the leaf line, _ _ _
_ _ [F] _ summer lies close to the [C] ground. _ _ _ _
When the porch is [G] a good place [C] for young boys to sleep, _ [F] and the brook in the hollow _
[G] dies down. _ _ _ _
[C] Then we'll straw [Dm] hats and _ [C] wagons and horses, _ _ _ _ [Am] like young Tim [G] and Tiger, [C] old Dan.
_ _ _ _ [Dm] We'll get [C] for the feet, _ [G] in the creek of [C] the wheat, [F] with a big corporate blister [G] in your hand.
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ And [F] you have [G] to make _ [C] hay when the sun shines, _ [F] for all of [G] the old _ [C] farmers' _ days.
_ _ _ _ [F] Keep your [G] load wide, [C] keep an eye on [Am] that cow, _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ [F] and make [C] sure it's dry [G] when _ you're moving _ [C]
grain.
_ [G] _ _ _ [F] _ _ _
_ [G] _ _ _ _ [C] _ _ _
I remember _ the chat [Dm] from the back [C] of my neck, _ _ _ _ when [F] you're cool at the [C] edge of the tree. _ _
_ _ And you'd rest for [D] a time, _ [Cm] to talk about [Em] the weather, _ _ [A] drink [C] from the spring, and get good [G] on your knees.
_ _ _ [C] Then he's back to [Dm] the wagon, _ [C] _ back to the hoe, _ [F] six loads [G] and got eight [C] more to go.
_ _ _ _ [F] He's picked his [C] hand beans [F] for the late [C] supper meal, hey there's nothing like peace, [F] when you're [G] working, you know. _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ [C] And you [F] have to [G] make hay when [C] the sun shines, _ for [Am]
all of the [G] old _ [C] farmers' _ _ _ days.
_ _ [F]
Keep your [G] load _ wide, [C] keep an eye on [Am] that cow, _ _ _ [F] and make sure [C] it's dry [G] when you're moving _ [C] grain. _
[G] Well, make [C] sure [F] it's dry [G] when you're moving _ [C] grain. _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ Stay in the clover and keep it, _ _ _ [F] time when the earth does [C] bend. _ _ _
_ When all _ men are _ strong, [F] and their _ [C] workday's long, [F] and you know when [C] to rise, [G] and you know when to rest. _ _ _ _ _ _ _
[C] In your cool _ [G] of the evening, [C] right for John the Lord. _
[F] Let the wagon [G] wind blow through [C] my head, _ _ _ _ [F] and call out [C] the stars, _ [Fm] talk [C] to the moon. _
[F] _ Sing to _ myself in the sweet [Cm] _ [G] lullaby. _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ [C] And you have [F] to [G] make hay [C] when the sun _ shines, _ [F] for all [G] of the old [C] farmers' _ days. _ _
_ _ [F] Keep your [G] load [C] wide, keep an eye on [Am] that cow, _ _ _ _ [F] and make [C] sure it's dry [G] when you're moving [C] grain.
_ _ _ [F] Make sure [C] it's dry [G] when you're moving [C] _
_ grain.
[F] Hang [C] on a little, _ [F] to chop [C] growth and _ _ branches.
[F] Sing [C] to _ yourself in [G] the sweet _ [C] _ lullaby.
_ _ [F] _ _ _ [C] _ _ _
_ [F] _ _ _ [C] _ _ _ _
_ [F] Sing to [C] _ myself in [G] the sweet _ _ [C] _ lullaby.
