[Intro]
D
[Verse 1]
D
She was born on a farm
G
Working the clay
A D
She ran off when she was sixteen
D
Down a long country road
G
With nowhere to go
A D
She knew that she had to leave
D
She hopped a one way train
G
With a ticket to ride
D
In the third class back with the others
D
She watched the farm fade away
G
Just hoping and praying
A D
She'd have a better life than her mother's
[Chorus]
D G D A
It's a long long way from where we've been
D G D
The here and now is better than it was back then
G
Today may break your heart
D A
But tomorrow holds the key
D G D
We've come so far but the best is yet to be
[Verse 2]
D
He was born on the farm
G
But he didn't wanna stay
D
His daddy said he was a fool
G
So he crept away in the dead of night
D
And got a steamer out of Liverpool
G
Well, it's far far away from the green fields at home
D
To the wild Atlantic gray
G
He was hoping for work and he prayed for the love
D
Waiting half a world away
[Chorus]
D G D A
It's a long long way from where we've been
D G D
The here and now is better than it was back then
G
Today may break your heart
D A
But tomorrow holds the key
D G D
We've come so far but the best is yet to be
[Verse 3]
D
She was mopping the floor
G
He was working the bar
A D
It was a divine collision of the human heart
G
It was east of her and west of him
D
They were wishing on the same bright star
A D
And then the baby was a brand new start
[Interlude]
D G D
[Bridge]
C G D F G
In the hollow of his hand
D G D A F G
The road is rising up to meet them
[Outro]
G D
