G (barre on 3rd) C (barre on 3rd)
Me and the farmer get on fine
A (barre on 5th) D (barre on 5th)
Through stormy weather and bottles of wine
G C
If I pull my weight he'll treat me well
A D G
But I'f I'm late he'll give me hell
Bm
And though it's all hard work no play
C
Farmer is a happy crook
Bm
Jesus hates him every day
C A D
Cause Jesus gave and Farmer took
G C
Won't he let you go probably no
A D
Won't he let you go probably no

A D
Why does he treat you so I just don't know

Getting on like hand and blister

Me and the farmer
