Intro
| [G] | [G6] | [G] | [G6] |
| [G] | [G6] | [G] | [G6] |
| [G] Dusty old | [G6] farmer out | [G] workin' your | [G6] fields
Hangin' | [G] down over | [G6] your tractor | [D] wheels | [Dsus2]
The | [D] sun beatin' | [Dsus2] down turns the | [D] red paint to | [Dsus2] orange
And | [D] rusty old | [Dsus2] patches of | [G] steel | [G6]
There's | [G] no farmer | [G6] songs on that | [G] car radi- | [G6] o
Just | [G] cowboys, truck | [G] drivers and | [C] pain | [C]
Well | [C] this is my | [D] way to say | [G] thanks for the | [Em] meal
And I | [Am] hope there's no | [D] shortage of | [G] rain | [G6] | [G] | [G6]
Chorus
| [G] Straw hat and | [G6] old dirty | [G] hankies | [G6]
| [G] Moppin' a | [G6] face like a | [D] shoe | [Dsus2]
| [D] Thanks for the | [Dsus2] meal here's a | [D] song that is | [Dsus2] real
From a | [D] kid from the | [Dsus2] city to | [G] you | [G6]
| [G] Straw hat and | [G6] old dirty | [G] hankies | [G6]
| [G] Moppin' a | [G6] face like a | [D] shoe | [Dsus2]
| [D] Thanks for the | [Dsus2] meal here's a | [D] song that is | [Dsus2] real
From a | [D] kid from the | [Dsus2] city to | [G] you | [G6] | [G] | [G6]
The | [G] combines gang | [G6] up, take | [G] most of the | [G6] bread
Things | [G] just ain't like | [G6] they used to | [D] be | [Dsus2]
Though your | [D] kids are out | [Dsus2] after the A- | [D] merican | [Dsus2] dream
And they're | [D] workin' in | [Dsus2] big facto- | [G] ries | [G6]
| [G] If I come | [G6] by, when you're | [G] out in the | [G6] sun
Can I | [G] wave at you | [G6] just like a | [C] friend? | [C]
| [C] These days when | [D] everyone's | [G] takin' so | [Em] much
There's | [Am] somebody | [D] givin' back | [G] in | [G6] | [G] | [G6]
Chorus
| [G] Straw hat and | [G6] old dirty | [G] hankies | [G6]
| [G] Moppin' a | [G6] face like a | [D] shoe | [Dsus2]
| [D] Thanks for the | [Dsus2] meal here's a | [D] song that is | [Dsus2] real

| [G] Straw hat and | [G6] old dirty | [G] hankies | [G6]
| [G] Moppin' a | [G6] face like a | [D] shoe | [Dsus2]
| [D] Thanks for the | [Dsus2] meal here's a | [D] song that is | [Dsus2] real
From a | [D] kid from the | [Dsus2] city to | [G] you | [G6] | [G] | [G6] | [G↓]
