They use the A=432 "God" tuning so you have to retune your instrument if you want to play along
- which you should try because it's actually quite a beautiful tuning and it makes the singing easier
[Verse 1]
C F C
There's a little white note on the gate by the road that a man put up yesterday,
D G G7
And when we saw it we all ran out just to see what it had to say,
C F C
And when we read it our eyes filled with tears and they fell to the cold, hard clay.
G C
Something 'bout a mortgage, something 'bout foreclosure, something about failing to pay.
[Chorus]
F C
Oh and, on the post by the general store they put up a little sign:
D G G7
An auction sale - day after tomorrow - at the end of the Lincoln Lane.
C F C
Thirty years of farming, thirty years of heartache, thirty years of day to day.
G C
Oh, my daddy stopped talking, the day the farm was auctioned, there was nothing left to say.
[Verse 2]
C F C
Oh, my mama's tears fell freely down as she walked amongst the flowers in the yard
D G G7
And every number the auctioneer called was like a blow to her precious heart
C F C
And every number the auctioneer called meant another thing was sold that day
G C
'Til everything was auctioned, and we stood there watching as they loaded it and drove it away.
[Chorus]
F C

[Verse 3]
C F C
At the day's first dawning, we woke this morning, there was nothing for us to do.
D G G7
Nothing in the granary, no hay in the meadow, no cattle, no tractor, no tools.
C F C
So we loaded up the car with the clothes that we wore and a few things we managed to save.
G C
Mama read from the Book, we took one last look, and then we drove away.
