The Field
From Blood of Man
Tabbed by Drew Langworthy


G
Every step I take takes me farther from you
                    G
Every move I make reminds me that I'll always love you
G
Since you were a child we built our lives around you
                            G
How'm I supposed to live in this world we made without you?

G
Sometimes late at night I go the field
F
Is that where you are?
G
Are you a shooting star?
F
Can you say my name?
G
Darling can you hear me?
G
Tell me where's your heart now that it stopped beating?
C
It's right here, it's right here, it's right here


G
When you joined the war we were so proud of you
                        G
You seemed so grown up, living life the way we taught you
     G
Then your first letter came, it sounded nothing like you
                           G
It took all my strength to keep myself from running to you


G
Sometimes late at night I go the field
F
Is that where you are?
G
Are you a shooting star?
F
Can you say my name?
G
Darling can you hear me?
G
Tell me where's your heart now that it stopped beating?
C
It's right here, it's right here, it's right here


C
And it will always be until the sun dries the ocean
F
And you will always be my little one


B


C/B
If I was the President, if I was that man
C/B
I would walk out with those kids, out across the sand
C/B
If I was the President, if I was that brave
C/B
I would take a shovel, then dig each child their grave
C/B
If I was the President, and my world turned black
C/B
I would want no victory, I'd just want you back


C/B
I don't want no victory, I just want you back
C/B
I don't want no victory, I just want you back
C/B
I don't want no victory, I just want you back
G
I don't want no victory, I just want you back


G
Sometimes late at night I go the field
F
Is that where you are?
G
Are you a shooting star?
F
Can you say my name?
G
Darling can you hear me?
G
Tell me where's your heart now that it stopped beating?
G
It's right here, it's right here, it's right here
G
It's right here, it's right here, it's right here
G
It's right here, it's right here, it's right here
