WILLIAM							2015
							Am  C  G  Am	
Up early 4 a.m. most of his life
Takes his breakfast given from the land
Planted and gathered by his own hands
Fresh farm eggs cooked by his wife
 (F chord C chord F chord C chord G chord Am chord )
Farmer’s life is country style glamour
Dirty brown boots and patched overalls
5 A.M. he listens to the early market show
Damn those prices , all he says to her.
( Chorus ) His faith is in the land that is there
She knows that’s the way he shows he cares
For his life, for his life.
Forty seven years he worked this land
Never took what wasn’t his
Always gave like he had more
Silly as it sounds he was a righteous man
Out of the house before the sun comes up
Hay to the cows, hogs fed corn
Gases the tractor, heads to the field
Followed down the road by a beagle pup.
(Chorus)
Neighbor came around
Lasts Thursday morning
Asked if I heard of William’s fate
Said his mind has wandered away
William ain’t William anymore
(Chorus )2x
