We Sold Our Homesteads chords by Falconer

Chords with lyrics

Uh, hi. This is my first ever attempt at writing to the chords to a song. I'm not sure
about the technicalities of it all, but to be in the correct key as the song, I believe
you would need to be dropped down a step. But this is just for funsies. But uh yeah,
here's my attempt.

Criticism accepted and encouraged.


We Sold Our Homesteads, by Falconer


A minorAm             E minorEm       A minorAm
We sold our homesteads and started on our way
   E7E7         FF    G+G     D MajorD    E MajorE
Just like the birds will fly when autumn is here to stay
E7E7          A minorAm  E minorEm  FF     C majorC    G+G
One day they will return, come spring again that's when
  DmDm      A minorAm       E minorEm    A minorAm
But we will never see our native country again

A minorAm                E minorEm       A minorAm
At first we traveled through the English countryside
  E7E7      FF      G+G    D MajorD      E MajorE
On tracks and on wagons, as quickly as birds would fly
E7E7        A minorAm  E minorEm FF    C majorC   G+G
It was a lovely sight to see the land at last
  DmDm        A minorAm         E minorEm    A minorAm
But all the glorious sights kept flashing by too fast
 DmDm      A minorAm         E minorEm   A minorAm
The glorious sights kept flashing by too fast

And later when we came to Liverpudlian bay
The tears of regret finally started to have their say
The hearts then started burning in each and everyone
We only talked of Sweden that used to be our home


We all were packed together in one unhealthy cave
It was as if we'd stepped into an open grave
The food that we had brought from blessed Swedish land
Was suddenly for-bi-hi-dden and taken from our hand
It was for-bi-hi-dden and taken from our hand

And when we had been sailing for just a week or two
A augmentedA horrid kind of darkness was clouding our view
We couldn't see each other and hardly breathe or walk
It was a gruesome anguish for all people aboard

The air was filled with hunger and drenched in wretched cries
The howling and the noises would pierce right through the skies
And death became the ru-hoo-ler that forced us to our knees
The dead were buried in the horrid fathom of the seas
They were buried in the fathom of the seas
