Farmers Daughter

Biography:

Rodney Atkins, born March 28, 1969 in Knoxville, Tennessee, is an American country singer. He was an adopted child. As an infant at the Holston Methodist Home for Children in Greeneville, Tennessee, he was so sick that two couples who had taken him home returned him just a few days later. A third couple from Cumberland Gap, Tennessee, adopted him as well and, even though his ailments worsened, refused to give him up. His adoptive mother had been raised in a coal mining family near a tannery camp

Here is a closer chord progression to my ear.

Half-step down tuning (Eb, Ab, Db, Gb, Bb, Eb)

[Intro]

G D
G D

[Verse 1]

G C
Well I heard he needed some help on the farm
D C
Somebody with a truck and two strong arms
G D
Not scared of dirt and willin' to work
C D
till the sun goes down
G
So I pulled up and said I'm your man
D
I could start right now and we shook hands
G
He said the fence needs fixin',
D
the peaches need pickin'
C D
And the cows need bringin round

[Chorus 1]

G D
I was haulin' hay, I was feedin' the hogs
G D
and that summer sun had me sweatin' like a dog
Am
So I cooled off in the creek
G D
then it was back to work in the dag gum heat
G D
I was cussin' out loud, thinkin' bout quitin'
G D
Lookin' back now I'm sure glad I didn't
Am Cadd9
Cuz just when i thought it couldn't get no hotter
C D
I caught glimpse of the farmer's daughter

[Verse 2]

G C
She was just gettin' home from Panama city
D C
She was all tanned up and my kinda pretty
G
When her eyes met mine
D C
I was thinkin' that I would sure love my job
G C
As the days got shorter our talks got longer
D C
The kisses got sweeter and the feelings got stronger
G D
So we'd hop in the truck and get all tangled up
C
Every chance we got

[Chorus 2]

G
We were down by the river all night long
D
When the sun came up I was sneakin' her home
Am
And draggin' my butt to work
C D
With the smell of her perfume on my shirt
G
I'd be on the tractor she'd be on my mind
D
With that sun beatin' down on this back of mine
Am Cadd9
Just when I thought it couldn't get no hotter
C D
I fell in love with the farmer's daughter

[Bridge]

Am D
We got married last spring
Am D
Woah and there ain't no better life for me

[Chorus/Outro]

G
Im still haulin' hay and feedin' the hogs
D
And that summer suns has me sweatin' like a dog
Am
So I cool off in the creek
C D
And she brings me outta glass of sweet ice tea
G
Im on the tractor and shes on my mind
D
And I cant wait til its quittin' time
Am Cadd9
And just when I think it cant get no hotter
C D
I come home to the farmer's daughter

G D
D G
Yeah the farmer's daughter
