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

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

            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                      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
