    D
    In the pocket of his old blue jeans
    A                                                       G

    For drivin\’ an old John Deere

    A G
    Well, I know my days are numbered
    D
    I\’m gettin\’ threadbare and wearin\’ thin
    A G
    And they\’ll replace me with another
    D
    But I\’d do it all again
    A G
    Cuz I\’ve seen this great big country
    D
    Passed from hand to callused hand
    A G
    And I\’ve got to say that I\’m mighty proud
    D A A A A A
    That I belong to a workin\’ man

    G
    They say I\’m the root of all evil
