C                   F               C 
Every morning, they roll him to the window 
             G          C 
Greeted by a warm April sun 
                     F          C 
He's got old habits, so hard to break

Up with the dawn is just one 
 C                   F         C 
Across the road from Sunnyside Garden

He sees a dusty John Deere

He counts the times it passes by

And dreams of the harvest this year

He's a farmer, a rancher, scholar of dirt

Well-worn overalls and an old flannel shirt

A husband, a daddy, a veteran so proud

He'd give anything if he could still work the ground

A young man is working the land

He sees him there in the window each morning 
D7                   G 
Waving an old feeble hand 
C              F                C 
He goes around getting the work done 
          G           C 
Toiling until the day ends 
                   F          C 
Thinking about the man in the window

Knowing someday it might be him

Faded blue jeans and a Merle Haggard shirt 
  F                   C          F 
A husband, a daddy, a veteran so proud 
C                            G               C      A 
He thanks the good Lord that he can work the ground

Then one morning at Sunnyside Garden 
                 A              D 
They said, ('You have visitors, Ben') 
                        G          D 
He turned to see and he couldn't believe 
   E7                          A 
As twenty young farmers walked in 
     D                    G         D 
They took him across from Sunnyside Garden 
             A          D 
Hoisting him up in that seat 
                            G 
Tears hit the ground as the planter went down 
      D           A          D 
Once again, he is sowing the seeds 



        G                     D 
They're farmers and ranchers, scholars of dirt 
                                    A 
Souls of the heartland, salt of the earth 
G                     D           G 
Husbands and daddies, veterans so proud 
D                         A              D 
God bless the farmers who still work the ground
