[Verse]
A D
There were people living in a green valley
E
Found a way to make a lot of money
D
Made the green turn gradually gray
A D
They figured they could do whatever they wanted
E
Everything would be alright
D
But scars don't always heal away
[Pre-Chorus]
E
And the sons and the daughters
F#m D
Got diamonds and gold
E
But they were given a land where
F#m D
Strong roots never take hold
[Chorus]
D
Good seed don't grow
E F#m
On the barren ground
D A
Good things don't come along
Bm7 E
As you just sit dreaming on
D
Good seed don't grow
E F#m
On the barren ground
D A
Say everything fades away
Bm7 E
There you are still around
A E D A E D
What'll you do where will you go
[Verse]
A D
There was a ship along the coast
E
Carrying a whole of black money
D
In the sound near the northern lights
A D
When the ship set sail
D E
The crew looked for guidance
E D
In the bottom of an empty glass
[Pre-Chorus]
E
And the captain said
F#m D
"Pour me another rye"
E
Then the water turned black
F#m D
As a cold winter's night
[Chorus]
D
Good seed don't grow
E F#m
On the barren ground
D A
Good things don't come along
Bm7 E
As you just sit dreaming on
D
Good seed don't grow
E F#m
On the barren ground
D A
Say everything fades away
Bm7 E
There you are still around
A E D A E D
What'll you do where will you go
