Disappearing Farmer
Recorded by John Anderson
Written by James Cowan and Sandy Pinkard

C               G7          F           C
I remember Grandpa standing over by the gate
                      G7               F                C
His eyes turned up to heaven wondering why the rain was late
       F                                 C
And it seems so sad to look back now and see him lying there
          G7              F                 C
In a $500 casket with the dirt still in his hand

       F                                  C
It's a sad truth when the wind can blow a man's whole life away
        F                                            C
Like it strips the topsoil from the ground where the corn grew yesterday
            F                             C
Makes him a disappearing farmer cause his dreams rode with that wind
                    G7                F                  C
And all he knows is dominoes and some close old wrinkled friends

               G7        F                   C
Grandpa saw it comin' of that there ain't no doubt
                        G7             F              C
With the bankers on his doorstep and a cotton killin' drought
             F                            C
But he was a kind and he was a gentle man until the bitter end
                               G7          F                  C
And he was smilin' on his deathbed glad he hadn't sold out to them

                      G7            F              C
Now a modern two lane blacktop runs across the old homeplace
                         G7               F            C
And the man that ran the graveyard didn't recognize my face
        F                                 C
And the ground beneath seems drier now my God when will it rain
                   G7      F                   C
And pushing pretty flowers around my grandpa's grave
