Intro Am D G 

Verse 
                       C 
The sun comes over the top of the hill 
D                         G 
Shines on the fields I've yet to till 
   C         G/B          Am 
My bones are weary, but I know I will 
    G          C         D 
And not just because you ask it 

Verse 
Em                   C 
Rake and hoe hung on twenty-penny nails 
D                    G 
Milk lies sweet in a dozen pails 
C         G/B     Am 
Hay piled up in a hundred bales 
    D             G       Am   D 
And apples in the basket 

Verse 
  G                         C 
A house that's tight to the wind and snow 
  D                       G               C 
A barn that's full of the things we grow 
      G/B        Am 
Empty purse, but I don't owe 
  G        C       D 
A thing to any man living 

Verse 
  Em                  C 
A woman warm, a woman kind 
  D                   G 
A woman who knows her own sweet mind 
  C         G/B        Am 
A woman who knows just what's behind 
    D                    G      Am   D 
The things that she's forgiven 

Verse 
        G               C 
There's branches on the family tree 
          D                 G 
There's a boy, a girl and a baby's three 
     C         G/B       Am 
They look like her, they look like me 
     G            C        D 
Like folks that's dead and gone now 

Verse 
    Em                  C 
But I don't care, we're all the same 
        D                 G 
There's none to bless and none to blame 
      C        G/B    Am 
We're doing it in the family's name 
    D             G        Am   D 
The work we carry on now 

Verse 
    G                        C 
The old grey goose is on the wing 
    D              G 
But he'll be back again next spring 
     C       G/B    Am 
Each year we do the same old thing 
        G        C          D 
And the same old wheel goes spinning 

Verse 
         Em                  C 
When the air is warm and the earth is sweet 
        D                  G 
And the good clean dirt is on our feet 
    C      G/B    Am 
The circle comes around complete 
        D            G         Am   D 
And the end is the beginning

The sun comes over the top of the hill 
D                         G 
Shines on the fields I've yet to till 
   C         G/B          Am 
My bones are weary, but I know I will

And not just because you ask it
