^AmNow I'm walking through the ^Ffields, the earth is soft beneath my ^Cheels, ^CThe corn is growing ^Ghigh ^AmAnd as I contem^Fplate how the ones before me met their ^Cfate, ^CIt makes me wonder ^Gwhy And the nightingale ^Amcries:

^AmChasing rivers in the ^Fdark, they didn't see the only ^Cspark ^CThat rose to light the ^Gway ^AmBut even if they'd seen it ^Fglow, you and I, we both ^Cknow ^CThey'd choose to diso^Gbey
