This is my attempt to tab out this by watching a 
tape of Marty at the Opry.  Corrections are welcome.

CAPO 2ND FRET

A
Who'll buy my wheat, who'll buy my corn,
            D                A  
To feed my babies when their born?
         A                                        E
The seeds and dirt, a prayer for rain, that I can use.

      A
I work the land, I watched the sky,
          D              A
I talk to God and wonder why,
          D              E
But it's the only life I know, these Farmer's blues.


CHORUS
      E                                 D             A
I see the seasons come and go, sending rain, fire and snow.
       A                                E
I'm at the mercy of it all, this life I choose.
       A                                                     
Sometimes I hang my head and cry, when 
     D                 A
that evening train goes by,
        A                                     E
Wish it could take me far away, these Farmer's blues.

A
The tractor's broke, the fence is down,
           D              A
Put own my suit and go to town.
     A                                            E
And ask for a loan, that I know well, they might refuse.

       A
But back at home, still by my side,
           D                A
The one I love with worried eyes,
                     A                 E
Waits for me, to love away, these Farmer's blues.


(The end of the Yodel ends with a G-chord then a D-chord)

Awesome song. Yeah, I'm lookin' for some info on the pickin' as
well. I messed around with G, C, and D and the song sounded decent
too. Does anyone know if this tabbed version is the same key as the
CD? Thanks for all the help - I'd be lost without this site.

Farmer's Blues
-RoC | 12/30/2003
At the end of the chorus, you change to E at "away" and then end it with A on "blues". Other than that, great tab!

Hag is short for Haggard and Marty plays this song with a capo on the second fret.
