Intro:
Am
C Fmaj7 Am
I worked in her fields and under her trees
C Fmaj7 Am
I picked all her cotton it stung me like bees
C Fmaj7 Am
I shoveled her dirt when no one else would
C Fmaj7 Am
I gave her way more than I ever should
F Am
but I'm still here with nothing whatsoever
G F Am G
So I'm gonna work on Maggie's farm forever
C Fmaj7 Am
I ground down my knuckles for nothing at all
C Fmaj7 Am
And I've worked on my knees till I couldn't crawl
C Fmaj7 Am
I've felt so worthless I can hardly recall
C Fmaj7 Am
a time before she had me trapped in her wall
F Am
the odds of me leaving are slim to almost never
G F Am
yeah, I'm gonna work on Maggie's farm forever
C Fmaj7 Am
I've song to myself in the darkest of nights
C Fmaj7 Am
of freedom above me where all is alright
C Fmaj7 Am
But I wake up so cold on a cracked wooden floor
C Fmaj7 Am
and I've got to admit I'm not sure anymore
F Am
yeah I live in this endless misery however,
G F Am G
I'm gonna work on this old farm forever
C Fmaj7 Am
I've dreamed to myself with no one around
C Fmaj7 Am
of burning her plantation down to the ground
C Fmaj7 Am
and watching her scream from her third story room
C Fmaj7 Am
and light up my shovel wheelbarrow and broom
C Fmaj7 Am
all burned to the point you could never exhume
C Fmaj7 Am
the filthiest past one could ever endure
G Am
and her/his ashes will smolder the finest perfume
F Am
if I have the strength to get out of this/his room
F Am
But I know no other living whatsoever
G F Am
I'm gonna work on Maggie's/this old farm forever
G F Am
Yeah, we're gonna work on this old farm forever
