Jethro Tull - Farm On The Freeway

here are the chords for a great tull song that don`t exist yet for some reason .
now they do and you can go play it .
the chords might not be exactly above the proper words but you`re smart and know where they go .

Em C Em C
nine miles of two – strand topped with barbed wire
C D Em
laid by the father for the son .
Em C Em C
good shelter down there on the valley floor ,
C D Em
down by where the sweet stream run .

C D ( Am G ) Em
now they might give me compensation
F Em F C Em C
that’s not what i’m chasing . i was a rich man before yesterday .
Em C Em C
now all i have got is a cheque and a pickup truck .
C D
i left my farm on the freeway .

repeat that for the rest of the song .

they’re busy building airports on the south side
silicon chip factory on the east .
and the big road’s pushing through along the valley floor .
hot machine pouring six lanes at the very least .

they say they gave me compensation
that’s not what i’m chasing . i was a rich man before yesterday .
now all i have left is a broken – down pickup truck .
looks like my farm is a freeway .

they forgot they told us what this old land was for .
grow two tons the acre , boy , between the stones .
this was no southfork , it was no ponderosa .
but it was the place that i called home .

they say they gave me compensation
that’s not what i’m chasing . i was a rich man before yesterday .
and what do i want with a million dollars and a pickup truck?
when i left my farm under the freeway .

have fun .
