Cheryl Wheeler - His Hometown


CAPO: 2nd Fret


INTRO: G+G C majorC G+G C majorC G+G C majorC D MajorD
    G+G C majorC D MajorD E minorEm C majorC D MajorD G+G

          C majorC
When he was a boy, sitting in school
D/F#D/F#              G+G
Staring out the windows at the fields he knew
             C majorC
All that he wanted was to be there too
D/F#D/F#              C majorC    D MajorD
Driving his tractor through the morning dew

G+G         C majorC
Dust from the sun, mud from the rain
D/F#D/F#            G+G
Felt like an honour to him all the same
                C majorC
It's the simplest thing, he's a self taught man
D/F#D/F#             C majorC      D MajorD
He loves his work because he loves the land


CHORUS:
   G+G      C majorC   G+G     C majorC   G+G
He can change the hills, plant the trees
    C majorC   D MajorD         G+G
Dig the wells, spread the seeds
    C majorC   D MajorD      E minorEm
Mow the fields, plough the streets
  C majorC  D MajorD  G+G
In his home town


             C majorC
When the seasons roll by, year into year
   D/F#D/F#             G+G
He's worked all his life and he's worked right here
              C majorC
The winter's go slow if the snows don't come
     D/F#D/F#            C majorC    D MajorD
But it's soon to be summer when the tractors hum

CHORUS:
   G+G      C majorC   G+G     C majorC   G+G
He can change the hills, plant the trees
    C majorC   D MajorD         G+G
Dig the wells, spread the seeds
    C majorC   D MajorD      E minorEm
Mow the fields, plough the streets
  C majorC  D MajorD  G+G    C majorC
In his home town


BRIDGE:
                G+G       C majorC
I've seen him do things I just can't believe
       A minorAm          D MajorD    C majorC
Makes gentle giants of those big machines
             D MajorD   G+G  C majorC
He moves a boulder like a paper bag
      A minorAm           D MajorD
He moves a tree like it was all he had
   G+G      C majorC
He can change the hills


INSTRUMENTAL: G+G C majorC G+G C majorC  D MajorD G+G C majorC D MajorD E minorEm C majorC D MajorD G+G


                C majorC
And blessed is the soul who has truly found
D/F#D/F#              G+G
Something to rest on while the world turns 'round
             C majorC
I think he'd say, this is how he feels
     D/F#D/F#            C majorC     D MajorD
When the dark earth is turning underneath his wheels


CHORUS:
   G+G      C majorC   G+G     C majorC   G+G
He can change the hills, plant the trees
    C majorC   D MajorD         G+G
Dig the wells, spread the seeds
    C majorC   D MajorD      E minorEm
Mow the fields, plough the streets
  C majorC  D MajorD  G+G
In his home town
  C majorC  D MajorD  G+G
