[Intro] D Em D C G C G [Verse]
                                  C               D
I sailed with Miss Columbus for a trip across the sea

      C           G              C                D
The horizon was behind me when I found that I was free

  C                   G                    C            D
I smashed the glass I drank from, drove it deep into my arm

        C          G                C           G      D         C  G
Tell me how do you feel, now you're back on the farm?
[Verse]
                                C               D
She put me on the periscope and told me she was lost

    C              G              C                D
She said she was expensive, but I did not mind the cost

  C                 G             C            D
I said her deep-sea diver did not mean her any harm

        C          G                C           G      D         C  G
Tell me how do you feel, now you're back on the farm?
[Instrumental] D C G C [Bridge]
  D                G
I rang the bell of freedom

      D                G
Drank from the well of plenty

    C             G
The milk of human kindness

    Am            D
Was succour to my soul

                  G
I took her to the masthead

    D                G
And showed her my conditions

    C               G
She promised me the cargo

         F              D
That she carried in her hold
[Verse]
    A                                  D                  E
The sails were set for sunrise when we found the wind had dropped

  D                 A                D                 E
I tried to make the time up, but the clock had somehow stopped

  D                A                   D            E
A fire broke out below the decks and I sounded the alarm

        D          A                D           A      E         D  A
Tell me how do you feel, now you're back on the farm?
[Verse]
                                        D                 E
Now you might think it strange of me to write to you this way

    D             A             D                 E
For years I was a farmer, but I could not make it pay

    D           A            D               E
Yet here I am a sailor and I feel a sense of calm

        D          A                D           A
Tell me how do you feel, now you're back on the farm?

        D          A                D           A      E         D  A
Tell me how do you feel, now you're back on the farm?
