[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?

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

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?
