Version 1G barre on 3rd C barre on 3rd A barre on 5th D barre on 5th [Verse] G C Me and the farmer get on fine A D Through stormy weather and bottles of wine G C If I pull my weight he'll treat me well A D G But if I'm late he'll give me hell [Bridge] Bm And though it's all hard work no play C Farmer is a happy crook, Bm Jesus hates him every day, C A D Cause Jesus gave and Farmer took [Chorus] G C Won't he let you go probably no A D Won't he let you go probably no G C Why does he treat you so? I just don't know A D Why does he treat you so? I just don't know C Me and the farmer like brother, like sister D Getting on like hand and blister C D Me and the farmer [Verse] G C He's chopped down sheep, planted trees A D And helped the countryside to breathe G C Ripped up fields, bullied flocks A D G And worked his workers right around the clock [Verse] G C It may seem strange but he'd admit A D Intentions aren't exactly true G C And though God loves his wife a bit A D G He hates the farmer through and through [Bridge] Bm All things bright and beautiful C All creatures great and small Bm All we've got is London Zoo C A D 'cause farmer owns them all [Chorus] G C Won't he let you go probably no A D Won't he let you go probably no G C Why does he treat you so? I just don't know A D Why does he treat you so? I just don't know C Me and the farmer like brother, like sister D Getting on like hand and blister C D Me and the farmer C D Me and the farmer C D Me and the farmer
