Tom T. Hall – Whos Gonna Feed Them Hogs (Guitar)

G              C        D7           G
I met him in a hospital about a year ago

    C             G                             D7
And why I still remember him I guess I'll never know

     G             C            D7        G
He'd lie there and cry out in a medicated fog

             C                 D7                    G
Here I am in this dang bed and who's gonna feed them hogs

C            G                 D7           G
Four hundred hogs they're just standing out there

C             G                               D7
My wife can't feed 'em and my neighbors don't care

     G                 C                D7             G
They can't get out and roam around like my old hunting dogs

             C                 D7                    G
Here I am in this dang bed and who's gonna feed them hogs

             C            D7         G
His face was lean and his hands were rough

C           G                       D7
His way was hogs and his nature was tough

    G                C                D7              G
His doctors tried to tell him that he may not live at all

                C                D7                    G
But all he ever talked about was who's gonna feed them hogs

C            G                 D7           G
Four hundred hogs they're just standing out there

C             G                               D7
My wife can't feed 'em and my neighbors don't care

     G                 C                D7             G
They can't get out and roam around like my old hunting dogs

             C                 D7                    G
Here I am in this dang bed and who's gonna feed them hogs

             D             E             A
Four hundred hogs comes to eight hundred hams

D                  A                       E
And that's a lotta money for a hog raising man

A            D             E               A
Four hundred hogs comes to sixteen hundred feet

                    D                  E               A
The market's up and there are people a waiting on that meat

                          D                E                  A
Well the doctors say they do not know what saved the man from death

D                 A                             E
But in a few days he put on his overalls and he left

       A               D                   E                  A
That's all there is to this small song but waitress 'fore you leave

                        D            E                A
Would you bring me some coffee and a hot ham sandwich please

D            A                 E            A
Four hundred hogs they're just standing out there

D                 A                                 E
His wife couldn't feed 'em and his neighbors didn't care

     A                    D                E               A
They couldn't get out and roam around like his old hunting dogs

                D                 E                     A
There he was in that dang bed and who's gonna feed them hogs
