Gretchen Peters - Lilies Of The Field


CAPO: 4th Fret



INTRO: C majorC

                     FF
Billy had a yearning and an ache inside
                           C majorC
So he bought himself a Harley and he learned to ride
                         FF
Purred just like a baby, low and sweet and true
                        C majorC
And he aimed it at the place where the blacktop turns to blue

                   FF
Penny was a waitress down in Tupelo
                           C majorC
They said that she was trouble, I don't really know
                              FF
But something in her spirit touched something in his soul
                     C majorC
And he took her to his heart and he never let her go
      G+G              A minorAm            FF
She said, "If I had an ounce of courage, I would leave this town
             G+G
Life'll get you nowhere 'til they put you in the ground"


CHORUS:
    C majorC
But the lilies of the field, they neither reap nor sow
    FF
I wanna buy me a Winnebago and a map of Mexico
  C majorC                              FF
Go rolling down the highway where life's secrets are revealed
                  C majorC        FF  C majorC
Dancing in the wind like the lilies of the field


                    FF
Penny had a secret growing deep inside
                           C majorC
And she'd never known a man to love another's child
                          FF
Somewhere west of Tucson she just ran out of time
                   C majorC
So she made a quick decision and she made him walk the line
      G+G               A minorAm            FF
She said, "If you had an ounce of courage, you would take a stand
             G+G
Don't nobody argue with a pistol in your hand"

CHORUS:
    C majorC
Oh, the lilies of the field, they neither reap nor sow
    FF
I wanna buy me a Winnebago and a map of Mexico
  C majorC                              FF
Go rolling down the highway where life's secrets are revealed
                  C majorC        FF  C majorC  FF  C majorC
Dancing in the wind like the lilies of the field


                      FF
Billy pleaded guilty, ninety-nine to life
                     C majorC
Penny disappeared into the desert night
                      FF
Then she took his pistol out on Highway 2
                        C majorC
And she aimed it at the place where the blacktop turns to blue
      G+G               A minorAm             FF
She said, "If you had an ounce of courage, you would leave this town
             G+G
Life'll get you nowhere 'til they put you in the ground"


CHORUS:
    C majorC
Oh, the lilies of the field, they neither reap nor sow
    FF
I wanna buy me a Winnebago and a map of Mexico
  C majorC                              FF
Go rolling down the highway where life's secrets are revealed
                  C majorC        FF
Dancing in the wind like the lilies of the field
        C majorC        FF  C majorC
Like the lilies of the field
