We Don’t Grow Tobacco by Old Crow Medicine Show

Transcribed by DWdrummer67. Enjoy!
Note: On the D#m to A transition... it's easier to just play the barre A
on the 6th fret (pseudo 5th), by just moving your hand position up one string.
If you find it too difficult to transition to, just leave the D#m out. Still sounds good.

Tuning: Standard (capo 1st fret)

Intro: A, E, A

         AHardest work that ever I done, bent beneath that burning sun
                E               AHauling that tobacco ‘round to cure
          AI would chop that wicked weed, till our hands and fingers bleed
                E           AWorking like a mule, maybe more
              D                           AWe've been farming on this land… since eighteen hundred ten
         F#m                   B           EThrough flood, drought and pestilence and war
       ANow I sure am sad to say, that I’ve lived to see this day
                     E                    AAnd we don't grow tobacco ‘round here no more

Chorus:
          A  D            AWe don't grow…, we don't grow
                                         EOh, it's still the only work we'll ever know
          D D#m           AWe don't grow…, we don't grow
                 E                    AWe don't grow tobacco ‘round here no more

         AGrandpa told me this I know, change is comin’, won't be slow
                        E            AKnocking just like a thunder at the door
            APlowed up fields are all around, empty barns just fallin’ down
                   E                     AWell, Iron weeds comin’ up through the floor

           D                             AOnce we growed it by the pound, now the kids all moved to town
    F#m                    B         EAnd all that's left are elderly and poor
       ANow I sure am sad to say, that I’ve lived to see this day
