John Anderson - Disappearing Farmer
[Intro]
D C   G D
D C   G D
[Verse 1]
DI remember GrandApa standing Gover by the Dgate 
His Deyes turned up to Aheaven, wondering Gwhy the rain was Dlate
And it Gseems so sad to look back now   Dand see him lying there
In a D$500 Acasket with the Gdirt still in his Dhand
[Chorus]
It's a Gsad truth when the wind can blow a Dman's whole away
Like to Gstrip the topsoil from the ground where the Dcorn grew yesterday
Makes him a Gdisappearing farmer cause his Ddreams rode with that wind
And Dall he knows is Adominoes and some Gclose, old wrinkled Dfriends
[Riff]
D C   G D
D C   G D
[Verse 2]
DGrandpa saw it cAomin', of thGat there ain't no dDoubt
With the bDankers on his Adoorstep and a Gcotton killin' drDought
But he was a kiGnd and and he was a gentle man, Duntil the bitter end
And he was sDmiling on his deathbeAd, glad he hGadn't sold out to thDem
[Verse 2]
Now a Dmodern 2 lane bAlacktop runs aGcross the old homepDlace
And the Dman that ran the graveyAard didn't rGecognize my Dface
And the gGround beneath seems drier now, my DGod, when will it rain
And Dpushing pretty fAlowers aroGund my grandpa's grDave
[Chorus]
It's a Gsad truth when the wind can blow a Dman's whole away
Like to Gstrip the topsoil from the ground where the Dcorn grew yesterday
Makes him a Gdisappearing farmer cause his Ddreams rode with that wind
And Dall he knows is Adominoes and some Gclose, old wrinkled Dfriends
It's a Gsad truth when the wind can blow a Dman's whole away
Like to Gstrip the topsoil from the ground where the Dcorn grew yesterday
Makes him a Gdisappearing farmer cause his Ddreams rode with that wind
And Dall he knows is Adominoes and some Gclose, old wrinkled Dfriends
