What's your name? (Peter and Bob)

We've gotta earn our living
       E                       Ebm7        Dbm          Ab
But every time the job squad come and intrude

Bang goes another week's wages, bang goes another week's food

What did you do? (we've stood still)

What did they do? (they drove away)
                E               Ebm7      Dbm           Ab
We try to sit in the fields to protect our weed
           E                       Ebm7   Ab
We've gotta earn our living
                        E           Ebm7       Dbm                 Ab
And when the lawsuit come and took away our weed

[Bridge]
    Dbm                         Ab
A-hey diddle diddle, policemen on the fiddle
      Dbm                                Ab
He sold all the drugs to the man in the middle
      Dbm                              Ab
He put it on the plane at Heathrow central
           Dbm                                        Ab
It was picked up by a hippie and at Hertz car rental
Dbm                              Ab
Drove it into town and split it up in parcels
Dbm                                   Ab
Sold it to his friends at an ethnic party
      Dbm                             Ab
He talked about life, but missed all the points, points,
Dbm                  Ab
points, points, points, points, points
      Dbm                                 Ab
He sat crossed legged and passed around the joint
      Dbm                             Ab
So they inhaled the West Indian export
         Dbm                            Ab
They talked about life but missed all the points, points,
Dbm                   Ab
points, points, points, points, points

[Verse 3]
Dbm                                 Ab
We were back on the farm
Dbm                              Ab
We're still working hard
Dbm                                    Ab
We've got deadlines to meet
Dbm                                Ab
We're rushed off our feet
                     E                  Ebm7                  Dbm                  Ab
We've got to replant the feed and it takes nine months to grow
                  E                       Ebm7   Ab
And we've gotta earn our living
                E                   Ebm7  Dbm            Ab
But if the crops don't show, we're gonna starve
Dbm                                  Ab        Dbm                 Ab        Dbm
Bang goes another year’s wages, goodbye to life on the farm

[Chorus]
Dbm                   Ab
Farm yard connection
            Dbm                    Ab
At the farm yard connection
            Dbm                   Ab
At the farm yard connection
            Dbm                   Ab Dbm
At the farm yard connection
