G              C               D                             G             Gsus4
    Hey there mister, can you tell me what happened to the seeds I've sown
G                      C         D                   G
    Can you give me a reason sir, as to why they've never grown
            C                   G
They've just blown around from town to town
            D                   G
'Til they're back out on these fields
C                    G
    Where they fall from my hand
 D                     G              Gsus4
Back into the dirt of this hard land.

(same chord pattern over the rest of the song)

[Verse 2]
Now me and my sister, from Germantown yes we did ride
We made our bed sir from the rock on the mountainside
We been blowin' around form town to town
Lookin' for a place to stand
Where the sun bursts through the clouds to fall like a circle
Like a circle of fire down on this hard land.

[Verse 3]
Now even the rain it don't come 'round, don't come 'round here no more
And the only sound at night's the wind slammin' the back porch door
It just stirs you up like it wants to blow you down
Twistin' and churnin' up the sand
Leavin' all them scarecrows lyin' face down
Face down in the dirt of this hard land.
