Capo: 2
May not be exact, but this is how I play it. I'm cribbing from videos I've seen of
performances by the Brothers Four.
Capo 2nd fret.
For the intro, strum the chords, then arpeggiate -- listen to the song to hear how
specifically to do it. The strumming pattern for the rest of the song is very
easy: two down strokes for each chord. There appears to be some palm muting as well.
Intro: Am Dm Am E
Verse:
AmOnce there were Dmgreen fields Amkissed by the Esun
AmOnce there were Dmvalleys where Amrivers used to Erun
Chorus:
F G C A7*
Once there were blue skies with white clouds high above
Dm7Once they were G7part of an Ceverlasting Elove
AmWe were the Dmlovers who AmstrolEled through green FfieAmlds Dm E
Green fields are gone now, parched by the sun
Gone from the valleys where rivers used to run
Gone with the cold wind that swept into my heart
Gone with the lovers who let their dreams depart
Where are the green fields that we used to roam
Bridge:
FI'll never know what made you run Caway
FHow can I keep searching when dark clouds hide the Cday
AmI only know there's Dmnothing here for me
AmNothing in this Dmwide world, Fleft for me to Esee
Verse:
Still I'll keep on waiting until you return
I'll keep on waiting until the day you learn
Chorus:
You can't be happy while your heart's on the roam
You can't be happy until you bring it home
Home to the green fields and me once again
Coda: strum, then arpeggiate Am-Dm-Am-E pattern, then end with an Am, barred at
the 5th fret. Play this:
