CAPO: 1st Fret
INTRO: Em Am Em B7
Em Am Em B7
Once there were green fields, kissed by the sun
Em Am Em B7
Once there were valleys, where rivers used to run
C D G Em
Once there were blue skies, with white clouds high above
Am D G B7
Once they were part of an everlasting love
Em Am Em B7 C Em Am B7
We were the lovers who strolled through green fields
Em Am Em B7
Green fields are gone now, parched by the sun
Em Am Em B7
Gone from the valleys, where rivers used to run
C D G Em
Gone with the cold wind, that swept into my heart
Am D G B7
Gone with the lovers, who let their dreams depart
Em Am Em B7 C Em Am B7
Where are the green fields that we used to roam?
BRIDGE:
C D G
I'll never know what made you run away
C Am D G G/F#
How can I keep searching, when dark clouds hide the day
Em Am
I only know there's nothing here for me
Em Am B7
Nothing in this wide world left for me to see
Em Am Em B7
But I'll keep on waiting, 'til you return
Em Am Em B7
I'll keep on waiting, until the day you learn
C D G Em
You can't be happy while your heart's on the roam
Am D G B7
You can't be happy, until you bring it home

Home to the green fields and me, once again
