*****DO NOT ADD STRUMMING PATTERNS TO MY TABS*****
John Gorka - Houses in the Fields
INTRO:   G    D      C    Em    D  C  
They're growing Ghouses in the Dfield between the Ctowns
And the EmStarlight Drive-in Dmovie's closing CdownG  
The road is gone to the Dway it was beCfore
And the Emspaces won't be Dspaces anyCmore
GTwo more farms were Dbroken by the Cdrought
First the EmWagners now the DFullers pulling CoutG  
Developers paid Dbetter than the Ccorn
But Emthis was not the Dplace where they were CbornG  C  
CHORUS:
There's houses in the Dfields
No prayers for steady rain this yearC  
Houses in the Dfields
There's houses in the fiCeldsG  Am  
The last few farms are Dgrowing out of hGereC  
At Gfirst he wouldn't Dsell and then he wCould
Now Emthere'll be children Dplaying where the Csilos stoodG  
The word came from the Dmarrow of his bCones
It was the Emlast sure way to Dpay off all the lCoans
The Gnew streets will be Dnamed for kings and quCeens
And a Emransom will be Dpaid for every Ccastle's dreamG  
The model sign is Dcrested with a liCon
And the Emfarmers they will Dhave enough to die ConG  C  
CHORUS:
There's houses in the Dfields
No prayers for steady rain this yearC  
Houses in the Dfields
There's houses in the fiCeldsG  Am  
The last few farms are Dgrowing out of hGereC  
Oh, I Gguess no one should Dbe afraid of chCange
But, tell me Emwhy is there a Dfence for every Copen range?G  
It's a sign I'm Dgetting on in Cyears
When Emnothing new is Dwelcome to these Ceyes and earsG  C  
CHORUS:
Just houses in the fiDelds
No prayers for steady rain this Cyear
Houses in the Dfields
There's houses in the fiCeldsG  Am  
The last few farms are Dgrowing out of hGereC  
They're growing Ghouses in the fDields between the tCowns
And the EmStarlight Drive-in Dmovie is all Cclosed Gdown
The road is gone to the Dway it was beCfore
And the Emspaces won't be Dspaces anyCmoreG  Am  
No the spaces won't be Dspaces anyGmore

John Gorka - Houses in the Fields

G D C Em D C

INTRO:

G D C

They're growing houses in the field between the towns

Em D C G

And the Starlight Drive-in movie's closing down

D C

The road is gone to the way it was before

Em D C

And the spaces won't be spaces anymore

G D C

Two more farms were broken by the drought

Em D C G

First the Wagners now the Fullers pulling out

D C

Developers paid better than the corn

Em D C G C

But this was not the place where they were born

CHORUS:

There's houses in the fields

No prayers for steady rain this year

Houses in the fields

C G Am

There's houses in the fields

D G C

The last few farms are growing out of here

G D C

At first he wouldn't sell and then he would

Em D C G

Now there'll be children playing where the silos stood

D C

The word came from the marrow of his bones

Em D C

It was the last sure way to pay off all the loans

G D C

The new streets will be named for kings and queens

Em D C G

And a ransom will be paid for every castle's dream

D C

The model sign is crested with a lion

Em D C G C

And the farmers they will have enough to die on

CHORUS:

There's houses in the fields

No prayers for steady rain this year

Houses in the fields

C G Am

There's houses in the fields

D G C

The last few farms are growing out of here

G D C

Oh, I guess no one should be afraid of change

Em D C G

But, tell me why is there a fence for every open range?

D C

It's a sign I'm getting on in years

Em D C G C

When nothing new is welcome to these eyes and ears

CHORUS:

Just houses in the fields

No prayers for steady rain this year

Houses in the fields

C G Am

There's houses in the fields

D G C

The last few farms are growing out of here

G D C

They're growing houses in the fields between the towns

Em D C G

And the Starlight Drive-in movie is all closed down

D C

The road is gone to the way it was before

Em D C G Am

And the spaces won't be spaces anymore

D G

No the spaces won't be spaces anymore
