Em                          G
Where I grew up there was a field in the backyard,

Em                                       G
With big green trees in two and threes, and bells instead of flowers

Em                                  G
Took a walk on a windy day, and the breeze blew us to another place

Em                                          G
Growing up on some strange shore, where the snow is the roof and the grass

Is the floor

Em, G

Em                      G
Ran away into a forest, down a steep slope and into a field

Em                                      G
A girl with a knife told me to run so I ran and I ran into the setting sun

Em
I tried to tell the preacher I didn't fit in,

G
By singing a ballad 'The song outshines the sin'

Em
But he said that I should repent while I still could,

G
Before the lightning struck me where I stood.

Em                                      G
So on I go through the endless fields I don't know where I'm going but I

know I'll get there

Em                                     G
And if I get lost well, well you know that I don't care.


THE END!
