Tellin' us our hard times are about to end
Am           Bb                 C           |F G|
And then, if they don't give us what we like
Am        Bb                         C           Am-G-Bb-F
He said, "Men, that's when you gotta go on strike"

[Chorus 4]
C5           Bb5      
Corn in the fields

Listen to the rice when the wind blows 'cross the water
