Chorus:
G C
The Chev got stuck and the Ford got stuck,
D G
Got the Chev unstuck when the Dodge showed up,
G A7
but the Dodge got stuck in the tractor rut
A7 D
which eventually pulled out the Ford
(With some difficulty)
Verse 1:
G C
Well, more rain than we'd seen for a thousand years
D
Caused financial joys and biblical fears
G C
It caused some smiles, it caused some tears
D
But more to the point of our story:
G C
For the first time in the collective memory,
D
That old brown prairie that had been so dry
G C D
For so long, was very muddy, boggy, sticky,
G C
We'd pull one truck out and get another stuck in,
D
And motors would roar and tires would spin,
G C
We'd sink right down, down to the diff,
D
we'd all take turns and do it again,
G C
'Til no one could move we call one more friend,
D
Come on out here we need ya, bring yer truck
|G C |D |
(Second half of intro)
Chorus:
G C
The Chev got stuck and the Ford got stuck,
D G
Got the Chev unstuck when the Dodge showed up,
G A7
but the Dodge got stuck in the tractor rut
A7 D
which eventually pulled out the Ford
(And the Dodge, equal opportunity)
Verse 2:
G C
Well got me stuck in the mud so as I couldn't rehearse,
D
Chavez too has missed his work,
G C
Richie he now fears the worst,
D
Stood up his ex-wife she called him a jerk
G C
Of course Holdman didn't have nothin better to do,
D
...Except wrench

A7 D

Verse 3:
G C
Well it was truck after truck we all got stuck
D
'Cept the big ol' four-by Hutterite truck,
G C
We all thought "Lord, are we in luck"
D
But he wouldn't come anywhere near us. Mighty neighbourly.
G C D
Mighty neighbourly
G C
We used a lot of our backs and a little of our brains,
D
We jacked up the jacks and snugged up the the chains,
G C
We all did our very best to refrain
D
From shovelin',
G C
We put what timber we had underneath the wheels,
D
And we was all outta sand, but managed to steal,
G C D
Two sacks of the best modern canola seed ya ever did see,
D
That oughta give us some traction
|G C |D |

(Epilogue)
Verse 4:
G C
We spilled genetically modified canola seed
D
That was genetically modified for controlling the weeds,
G C
And for big old yields of margarine oil,
D
Raised hell all over that native prairie soil
G C D G
Agriculture Canada is definitely gonna be lookin' for us
