Oh Oh it's been a long time, C#m A E B C#m
Been a long time working these fields,
Oh oh it's been a long time,
It wasn't easy, A
It was real.
From a forest to a field to a farm to a factory, A E
Through the generations it stayed in the family, A E
All that time, C#m B E A
Working side by side, G#
And I bet you never knew all the changes you'd live through, C#m B E A
All the things your kids would see, G#
It's been a cold and confusing World War Three. C#M B E A
The page wire and the t-bar that once held the sheep in, E A
Used to draw the tree line now the wire is sinking deep in, C#m B E A
the trunk of the tree, and the green gra** grows all around, (all around), and the green gra** grows all around (all around),
And how are you supposed to guess about stuff like lead and asbestos, C#m B E A
Those high technologies, G#
Now we got hormone meat and engineered seed, cancer in our prime and kids with diabetes, C#m B E A
Ten new products every day and nine created needs, C#m B E A
What are they gonna say k**ed my friends when I'm 83, C#m B E A
Like you. G#
Oh Oh it's been a long time, C#m A E B C#m
Been a long time working these fields,
Oh Oh it's been a long time,
It wasn't easy.
