    Am – Dm – Am - E

 

     Am                       Dm            Am                       E

1. Once there were green fields,      kissed by the sun.

     Am                      Dm                 Am                 E

    Once there were valleys where rivers used to run.

       F                        G                       C                          A

    Once there were blue skies with white clouds high above,

     Dm                     G            Am             E

    Once they were part of an everlasting love.

    Am                Dm                 Am  -  E                       F      - Am - Dm - E

    We were the lovers who strolled      through greenfields.

 

      Am                   Dm          Am                           E

2. Greenfields are gone now,      parched by the sun,

     Am                  Dm                 Am                E

    gone from the valleys where rivers used to run.

      F                     G                      C                  A

    Gone with the cold wind that swept into my heart,

     Dm                 G             Am                           E

    gone with the lovers who let their dreams depart.

       Am                  Dm                Am-E                   F   - Am - Dm - E

    Where are the greenfields that  we     used to roam.

F                                                             C

    I`ll never know what made you run away.

       F                                                                                C

    How can I keep searching when dark clouds hide the day,

Am           F                Dm                     F

   I only know there´s nothing here for me.

     Am                  Dm                                  E

    Nothing in this wide world left for me to see.

 

          Am               Dm     Am               E

3. But I`ll keep on waiting       till you return,

   Am               Dm       Am                     E

    I`ll keep on waiting until the day you learn.

F                         G                  C                           A

    You can`t be happy while your heart`s on the roam.

Dm                     G         Am                    E

    You can`t be happy until you bring it home,

     Am                Dm                  Am-E           Am    - Dm - Am - E - Am

    home to the greenfields and   me   once again
