Cheryl Wheeler - His Hometown
CAPO: 2nd Fret
INTRO:   G    C    G    C    G    C  D  
       G  C  D  Em  C  D  G
When he was a boy, Csitting in school
D/F#Staring out the windows at the Gfields he knew
All that he wanted was to Cbe there too
D/F#Driving his tractor through the Cmorning Ddew
GDust from the sun, Cmud from the rain
D/F#Felt like an honour to him Gall the same
It's the simplest thing, he's a Cself taught man
D/F#He loves his work because he Cloves the laDnd
CHORUS:
He can Gchange the Chills, Gplant the CtreesG  
Dig the Cwells, Dspread the seedsG  
Mow the Cfields, Dplough the Emstreets
In Chis Dhome Gtown
When the seasons roll by, Cyear into year
He's D/F#worked all his life and he's Gworked right here
The winter's go slow if the Csnows don't come
But it's D/F#soon to be summer when the Ctractors Dhum
CHORUS:
He can Gchange the Chills, Gplant the CtreesG  
Dig the Cwells, Dspread the seedsG  
Mow the Cfields, Dplough the Emstreets
In Chis Dhome GtownC  
BRIDGE:
I've seen him do things I just Gcan't believeC  
Makes gentle Amgiants of those big maDchinesC  
He moves a boulder like a Dpaper GbagC  
He moves a Amtree like it was all he Dhad
He can Gchange the Chills
INSTRUMENTAL:   G    C    G     C    D    G    C    D    Em    C    D  G  
And blessed is the soul who has Ctruly found
D/F#Something to rest on while the Gworld turns 'round
I think he'd say, this is Chow he feels
When the D/F#dark earth is turning underCneath his Dwheels
CHORUS:
He can Gchange the Chills, Gplant the CtreesG  
Dig the Cwells, Dspread the seedsG  
Mow the Cfields, Dplough the Emstreets
In Chis Dhome Gtown
In Chis Dhome Gtown
