[Intro]
D D/C# Dsus2/C G D
[Verse 1]
D D/C# Dsus2/C G Em
Hey, momma, here’s a letter from your son
G D
Well, I guess, my city days are done.
C G D
And it ain’t been three weeks since you came,
D G Em
Hey, momma, I do remember what you said,
G D
Say your prayers before you go to bed, son,
C G D
And remember city women ain’t the same,
[Chorus]
C G
I’m like a John Deere tractor in a half acre field,
B7 E E7
Trying to plow a furrow where the soil is made of steel,
A D A D
Oh, I wish I was home, Lord, Where the blue grasses grow,
A E A A7
And the sweet country girls don’t complain.
[Instrumental]
D D/C# Dsus2/C G D
[Verse 2]
D D/C# Dsus2/C G Em
Hey Momma, so much perfume I thought I’d drown,
G D
And the Lord didn’t seem to be nowhere around,
C G D
Oh I feel like a flower on the vine
C
Aw, she was pretty Lord knows
G D
Thought that she would bring me joy
C G D
She laughed and she called me country boy, boy
C G D
and after she had been so kind
[Chorus]
C G
I’m like a John Deere tractor in a half acre field,
B7 E E7
Trying to plow a furrow where the soil is made of steel,
A D A D
Oh, I wish I was home, ma, where the blue grasses grow,
A E A A7
And the fire light shimmers and shines.

Hey mama, here's a letter from your son
Well, I guess my city days are done, ma
And it ain't been three weeks since you came
Hey mama, I do remember what you said
Say your prayers before you go to bed, son
And remember city women ain't the same
I'm like a John Deere tractor
In a half acre field
I'm tryin' to plow the furrows
Where the soil is made of steel
Oh I wish I was home, ma
Where the blue grass is growin'
And them sweet country girls don't complain
Hey mama, so much perfume I thought I'd drown
And the Lord didn't seem to be nowhere around
I feel like a flower on the vine
Aw she was pretty Lord knows, I thought that she would bring me joy
But she laughed, and she called me "country boy" boy
And after she had been so kind
I'm like a John Deere tractor
In a half acre field
I'm tryin' to plow the furrows
Where the soil is made of steel
Oh I wish I was home, ma
Where the blue grass is growin'
And the fire light shimmers and shines
