Intro: Am Dm Am E7
Am Dm Am E7
Once there were green fields kissed by the sun
Am Dm Am E7
Once there were valleys where rivers used to run
F Dm7 C Am
Once there were blue skies with white clouds high above
F Dm7 C E7
Once they were part of an everlasting love;
Am Dm Am E7 Am Dm Am E7
We were the lovers who strolled through green fields
Am Dm Am E7
Greenfields are gone now, parched by the sun
Am Dm Am E7
Gone from the valleys where rivers used to run
F Dm7 C Am
Gone with the cold wind that swept into my heart
F Dm7 C E7
Gone with the lovers who let their dreams depart
Am Dm Am E7 Am Dm Am E7
Where are the greenfields that we used to roam
Bridge
F F7 Dm7 C
I'll never know what made you run away
F F7 Dm7 C C/B
How can I keep searching when dark clouds hide the day
Am Dm
I only know there's nothing here for me
Am Dm F E7
Nothing in this wide world left for me to see
Am Dm Am E7
But I'll keep on waiting till you return
Am Dm Am E7
I'll keep on waiting until the day you learn
F Dm7 C Am
You can't be happy while your heart's on the roam
F Dm7 C E7
You can't be happy until you bring it home
Am Dm Am E7 Am Dm Am E7 Am
Home to the greenfields and me once again
