Ami Dmi Ami E7

Ami                   Dmi    Ami           Emi7

Once there were green fields kissed by the sun,

Ami             Dmi

Once there were valleys where rivers used to run,

                                      C            A7

Once there were blue skies with white clouds high above,

Dmi             G7          C   Ami     E7

Once there were parts of an overlasting love.

Ami         Dmi        Ami    E7           Ami    Dmi E7

We were the lovers who strode through green fields.

Ami                   Dmi  Ami            Emi7

Green fields are gone now, parched by the sun,

Ami           Dmi

Gone from the valleys where rivers used to run,

                                   C       A7

Gone with the cold wind that swept into my heart,

Dmi           G7         C   Ami          E7

Gone with the lovers who let their dreams depart.

Ami           Dmi               Ami E7     F   Ami Dmi

Where are the green fields that we used to know?

F    E7    F    E7   G7            C

I’ll never know what made you run away,

F       Ebmi   F         Ebmi G7                   C

How can I kept searching when dark clouds hide the day,

Ami                 Dmi

I only know there’s nothing here for me,

Ami             Dmi                       E7

Nothing in this wide world left for me to see.

    Ami          Dmi     Ami        Emi7

But I’ll keep on waiting till you return,

Ami          Dmi       C               G7

I’ll keep on waiting until the day you learn:

F            G7               C               A7

You can’t be happy while your heart is on the roam,

Dmi          G7      C                E7

You can’t be happy until you bring it home,

Ami         Dmi              Ami E7   Ami Dmi Ami E7 Ami

Home to the green fields and me once again.
