E 
John Moses was a black man 
       A                                E 
Lived half a mile from my grandaddy's farm 
 
He worked his twenty acres 
        A                                 B7       
With a broke-down mule and muslces in his arms 
       D 
For a can of RC Cola 
      A                               B7    E 
He'd stop and share the widsom of his soul 
     D 
And I'd sit there on that white fence 
    A                              E 
And listen to the stories that he told 
 
 
He'd seen the Great Depression 
When a dollar was all a hard day's work would bring 
He'd watched the crosses burning 
In a time when freedom didn't ring 
He'd seen w rold where minds were closed 
And so many hearts were made of stone 
But I never heard a bitter word 
When I asked him 'bout the pain that he had known 

A He said life is full of fertile ground D E But it takes a little rain to make things grow A And when it comes to harvest time D E We're all bound to reap just what we sow A So the best that I can tell you boy B7 E Is always do the best that you can do A Move the rocks and plow your fields E N/C And plow between the rocks that you can't move
Now the year we burried Grandpa Life had really knocked me to the ground The woman I loved had left me And the business I'd built up was shuttin down I went to see John Moses To talk about the trouble on my mind But that old farmhouse was covered up In kudzu and honeysuckle vines D I leaned against that rusty fence B7 E7 And let the past blow through me like the wind D And as the sun was sinkin low B7 E7 I could've sworn I heard his voice again CHORUS Move the rocks and plow your fields And plow between the rocks that you can't move John Moses was a good man, lived half a mile from my grandaddy's farm
