Em G Em
My father said some things you learn
C D7 G
By only doin' when it comes your turn
Em
Everything comes around so be ready if you can
C D7 G
Prepare your heart like the farmer turns his land
Em
And you plant your fields when the spring is tender
Am
When the summer beats down you pray for rain
G C
You hope for the harvest and the long cold winter
B7 Em
And then you plant your fields again
G Em
He spoke right to my restless soul
C D7 G
Still wild and hungry and beyond control
Em
For all that you dream there's a time and a place
C D7 G
But you won't know it till it comes your way
Em
And you plant your fields when the spring is tender
Am
When the summer beats down you pray for rain
G C
You hope for the harvest and the long cold winter
B7 Em
And then you plant your fields again
Em
When the spring is tender
Am
When the summer beats down you pray for rain
G C
You hope for the harvest and the long cold winter
B7 Em
And then you plant your fields again

You plant your fields again
B7 Em
You plant your fields again
B7 Em
You plant your fields again
