verse 1 

Em               B                 Am         G 
The wind is blowin', the farmer is sowin' now 
C                  B        C     G    Am   

And soon you'll be going to seed, yes and growing oh,  


G 
Careless Weed 
                         D       G 
Rise beside the road and sing to me 
            D                C 
To be where roads and rivers lead 
           D                 G        Em 
And living without greed Careless Weed 



verse 2 
                    B                          Am 
So grow beneath the bridge and grow you in the fence row now  
        C                B                           G        Am           
But God help you in the farmers field 'cause he will make you weep,  

with his hoe-down now, 


     G                             Am           G 
Oh, Careless Weed, from across the river bed you?re calling to me 
            B                 C 
To be where roads and rivers lead 
            Am               G        Em 
In love and without need Careless Weed 



verse 3 

   B         D       C                Am  G     D      Em    C         
I lean on my hoe and stare and stare, because I know I ain't really  
D        G         Em 
going nowhere, oh, Nowhere 
                              B                            Am          C 
And the mare, the mare, she's foalin', the tumbleweeds are rollin' now, 
                 B        C       G                     Am   C 
Movin' down the line and leavin' tracks for the wind to read 


        G          B      Em    G         Am  G 
Oh, Careless Weed, stand beyond the hills and call to me 
D                             C 
To be where roads and rivers lead 
               Am        G 
Loving without need careless weed 
    Am 
And living without greed 
    D         G    D
