Greenfields ~ SUMMERTIME

Am Dm Am E   Am F C Dm   Am G C Am   F G C E   Am Dm Am E Am
Once there were greenfields...kissed by the sun
Once there were valleys...where rivers used to run
Once there were blue skies with white clouds high above
Once they were part of an everlasting love
We were the lovers who strolled through greenfields

Greenfields are gone now...parched by the sun
Gone from the valleys...where rivers used to run
Gone with the cold wind that swept through to my heart
Gone with the lovers who let the dreams depart
Where are the greenfields where we...used to roam?

I'll never know what made you run away
How can I keep searching when dark clouds hide the day?
I only know there is nothing here for me
Nothing left to do now to end this misery
Lost are the greenfields to people…like me. 

But I keep on waiting...until you return
I keep on waiting until the day you learn
You can't be happy when your heart's on the roam
You can't be happy until you bring it home
Home to the greenfields...and me once again

Am Dm E
Summer time an' the livin' is easy,
Fish are jumpin, an' the cotton is high.
Oh yo' daddy's rich, an' yo' ma is good lookin'.
So hush, little baby, don' yo' cry.

One of these mornin's, you goin' to rise up singin' 
Then you'll spread your wings an' you'll take the sky.
But till that mornin' there's nothin' can harm you
With Daddy an' Mammy standin' by.
