The Band - King Harvest (Has Surely Come): chords

Chorus:
C            A#
Corn in the fields
G#                          D#            D        C
Listen to the rice when the wind blows 'cross the water
F/A  Fm/G#              C
King Harvest has surely come

Am             G      A#      F       C
I work for the union 'cause she's so good to me
Am                     F          Dm              E7
And I'm bound to come out on top that's where I should be

        Am        A#        C           F G
I will hear ev'ry word the boss may say
    Am       A#                C         F G
For he's the one who hands me down my pay
  Am        A#                  C          F G
Looks like this time I'm gonna get to stay
Am     A#         C            Am G A# F
I'm a union man, now, all the way

Chorus:
The smell of the leaves
From the magnolia trees in the meadow
King Harvest has surely come

A dry summer, and then come fall
Which I depend on most of all
Hey, rainmaker, can't you hear the call?
Please let these crops grow tall!

Long enough I've been up on Skid Row

And it's plain to see, I've nothing to show
I'm glad to pay those union dues
Just don't judge me by my shoes

Chorus:
A scarecrow and a yellow moon
Pretty soon, the carnival on the edge of town
King Harvest has surely come

Last year, this time, wasn't no joke
My whole barn went up in smoke
Our horse Jethro, well, he went mad
And I can't ever remember things being that bad

Now here come a man with a paper and pen
Tellin' us our hard times are about to end
And then, if they don't give us what we like
He said, "Men, that's when you gotta go on strike!"

Chorus:
Corn in the fields
Listen to the rice when the wind blows 'cross the water
King Harvest has surely come
