Play the first half of the progression over the verses, ending each verse with the second half. 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)

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 ranch

|G C |D | 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

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 | 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

(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
