Intro: EmAmEmB7EmAmEmB7
Once there were green fields, kissed by the sun
EmAmEmB7
Once there were valleys, where rivers used to run
CDGEm
Once there were blue skies, with white clouds high above
AmDGB7
Once they were part of an everlasting love
EmAmEmB7CEmAmB7
We were the lovers who strolled through green fields
EmAmEmB7
Green fields are gone now, parched by the sun
EmAmEmB7
Gone from the valleys, where rivers used to run
CDGEm
Gone with the cold wind, that swept into my heart
AmDGB7
Gone with the lovers, who let their dreams depart
EmAmEmB7CEmAmB7
Where are the green fields that we used to roam?
Bridge:
CDG
I'll never know what made you run away
CAmDGG/F#
How can I keep searching, when dark clouds hide the day
EmAm
I only know there's nothing here for me
EmAmB7
Nothing in this wide world left for me to see
EmAmEmB7
But I'll keep on waiting, 'til you return
EmAmEmB7
I'll keep on waiting, until the day you learn
CDGEm
You can't be happy while your heart's on the roam
AmDGB7
You can't be happy, until you bring it home

Home to the green fields and me, once again
