I Would Be An Orchardist chords

Capo III

[C] [F] [G] [C]

[C]Long ere the rooster crows from out of bed I [F]rise
[G]wash and comb my tousled hair and don my old dis[C]guise,
creep into my lover's room and kiss her head good[Am]bye,
[G]hit the road to make my living, live myself a [C]lie.

[C]While the sun is rising I toil and I [F]slave,
[G]earn enough to pay my debts and all the rest I [C]save.
Life is not luxurious on such a meager [Am]wage,
[G]but I've got a dream to calm my nerves and all my fears as[C]suage.

I'd like to [F]be in a field of [C]green
sur[D]rounded by a [D7]livelihood of [G]trees.[G7]
I wanna [F]go where apples [Am]grow
with [F]prairie grass and [G]clover down be[C]low.

*instrumental* [C] [F] [G] [C]

[C]Long ere the rooster crows from out of bed I [F]rise,
[G]fix myself a breakfast, tie my boots, and go out[C]side,
check up on the ciderhouse and tend my growing [Am]trees,
[G]clean out the old chicken coop and then do as I [C]please.

I'd like to [F]be in a field of [C]green
sur[D]rounded by a [D7]livelihood of [G]trees.[G7]
I wanna [F]go where apples [Am]grow
with [F]prairie grass and [G]clover down be[C]low.

[C]We share a pot of coffee as we watch the rising [F]sun,
[G]a full day's work ahead, but it's a full day's worth of [C]fun.
Life is so luxur'ious when you're working towards a [Am]dream,
[G]and working comes so naturally when all your time is [C]free.

I'd like to [F]be in a field of [C]green
sur[D]rounded by a [D7]livelihood of [G]trees.[G7]
I wanna [F]go where apples [Am]grow
with [F]prairie grass and [G]clover down be[C]low...
with [F]prairie grass and [G]clover down be[C]low.
