The Auction
Recorded by John Schneider
Written by Don Goodman, Mark Sherrill, Claude Hendrick

C
I watched an auction take place today
Dm F G7
The bank sold the farm where I was raised
C
I heard the echo of the auctioneer
A#7 F G7
And my heart traveled back across the years

C
But daddy stood there just as proud as any man could be
Dm C G7
While watching strangers bidding on his memories
C
Only time I saw him even hang his head
A#7 F G7
Is when they sold his and momma's favorite bed

C F
They auctioned off daddy's farm today
G7 C
One by one they hauled his dreams away
F G7 C F C
They sold everything but the flowers from momma's grave
G7 C
They auctioned off my daddy's farm today


Well the last three years the weather took the crops
Dm F G7
And the checks that the government sent just up and stopped
C
When you're young and strong you can find ways to survive
A#7 F G7
But you know it ain't that easy when you just turn sixty-five

Repeat #3

C G7 C F
Yes they auctioned off daddy's farm today
G7 C
One by one they hauled his dreams away
F G7 C F C
They sold everything but the flowers from momma's grave
G7 C
They auctioned off my daddy's farm today

F C
Tell me how much did you pay for grandma's bible
