Cheryl Wheeler - His hometown

When he was a boy, ^Csitting in school ^D/F#Staring out the windows at the ^Gfields he knew All that he wanted was to ^Cbe there too ^D/F#Driving his tractor through the ^Cmorning ^Ddew

^GDust from the sun, ^Cmud from the rain ^D/F#Felt like an honour to him ^Gall the same It's the simplest thing, he's a ^Cself taught man ^D/F#He loves his work because he ^Cloves the la^Dnd

He can^G change the ^Chills,^G plant the ^Ctrees ^G Dig the ^Cwells,^D spread the seeds ^G Mow the ^Cfields,^D plough the ^Emstreets In ^Chis ^Dhome ^Gtown

When the seasons roll by, ^Cyear into year He's ^D/F#worked all his life and he's ^Gworked right here The winter's go slow if the ^Csnows don't come But it's ^D/F#soon to be summer when the ^Ctractors ^Dhum

He can^G change the ^Chills,^G plant the ^Ctrees ^G Dig the ^Cwells,^D spread the seeds ^G Mow the ^Cfields,^D plough the ^Emstreets In ^Chis ^Dhome ^Gtown ^C

I've seen him do things I just ^Gcan't believe ^C Makes gentle ^Amgiants of those big ma^Dchines ^C He moves a boulder like a ^Dpaper ^Gbag ^C He moves a ^Amtree like it was all he ^Dhad He can^G change the ^Chills

And blessed is the soul who has ^Ctruly found ^D/F#Something to rest on while the ^Gworld turns 'round I think he'd say, this is ^Chow he feels When the ^D/F#dark earth is turning under^Cneath his ^Dwheels

He can^G change the ^Chills,^G plant the ^Ctrees ^G Dig the ^Cwells,^D spread the seeds ^G Mow the ^Cfields,^D plough the ^Emstreets In ^Chis ^Dhome ^Gtown In ^Chis ^Dhome ^Gtown
