David Francey - Green Fields
CAPO: 2nd Fret
INTRO:   C    G    F  C  
In FPeterborough CCounty there's a Gvillage in a FvalleyG  F  
CMe, I have a Gfarm at the Ftop of the Chill
You can Fhave your city Cstreets and your Gbackyards and your FalleysG  F  
CMe, I have these Ggreen fields and I Falways Cwill
And I Gmarried out of Chigh school to a Ggirl I knew forCever
And we Gsettled in toCgether and three Fchildren came
And the Glife that we were Cliving, was forGgive and be forCgiven
But Gwhenever I saw Fsunshine, she could only see Crain
Left me Fstanding in the Ccornfields, with the Gdry land all aFround meG  F  
And I Cfelt myself Gsinking like the Fsetting Csun
And the Fsky was like the Cocean, Gpouring down aFround meG  F  
I Cused to be so Gproud and I was Fall unCdone
INTERLUDE:   C    G    F  C  
So I Fkept on working mCy land, and I Gheld on with bFoth handsG  F  
And I Cwatched the seasons Gturning in the Fsky aCbove
And I Fworked beside my Cfather and we Gbent our backs toFgetherG  F  
And I Cwondered would I Gever find someFone to Clove
But when GI was good and Cready, when I Gstood up strong and Csteady
GLove came with the Cletters in the Fmorning mail
And I Gknew that I had Cfound her when I Gput my arms aCround her
When I Gsee her now in the Fmorning, how that sunrise Cpales
Leaves me Fstanding in the Ccornfields, with the Gdry land all aFround meG  F  
And I Cfeel myself Grising like the Fmorning Csun
And the Fsky is like the Cocean, Gwide and blue and FrollingG  F  
And I Cknow that in my Gown heart, she's the Fonly Cone
In FPeterborough CCounty there's a Gvillage in a FvalleyG  F  
CMe, I have a Gfarm at the Ftop of the Chill
You can Fhave your city Cstreets and your Gbackyards and your FalleysG  F  
CMe, I have these Ggreen fields and I Falways Cwill

David Francey - Green Fields

CAPO: 2nd Fret

C G F C

INTRO:

F C G F G F

In Peterborough County there's a village in a valley

C G F C

Me, I have a farm at the top of the hill

F C G F G F

You can have your city streets and your backyards and your alleys

C G F C

Me, I have these green fields and I always will

G C G C

And I married out of high school to a girl I knew forever

G C F

And we settled in together and three children came

G C G C

And the life that we were living, was forgive and be forgiven

G F C

But whenever I saw sunshine, she could only see rain

F C G F G F

Left me standing in the cornfields, with the dry land all around me

C G F C

And I felt myself sinking like the setting sun

F C G F G F

And the sky was like the ocean, pouring down around me

C G F C

I used to be so proud and I was all undone

C G F C

INTERLUDE:

F C G F G F

So I kept on working my land, and I held on with both hands

C G F C

And I watched the seasons turning in the sky above

F C G F G F

And I worked beside my father and we bent our backs together

C G F C

And I wondered would I ever find someone to love

G C G C

But when I was good and ready, when I stood up strong and steady

G C F

Love came with the letters in the morning mail

G C G C

And I knew that I had found her when I put my arms around her

G F C

When I see her now in the morning, how that sunrise pales

F C G F G F

Leaves me standing in the cornfields, with the dry land all around me

C G F C

And I feel myself rising like the morning sun

F C G F G F

And the sky is like the ocean, wide and blue and rolling

C G F C

And I know that in my own heart, she's the only one

F C G F G F

In Peterborough County there's a village in a valley

C G F C

Me, I have a farm at the top of the hill

F C G F G F

You can have your city streets and your backyards and your alleys

C G F C

Me, I have these green fields and I always will
