Intro: C   Am    C  F    C  F 

N.C.    C               Am 
Oh, the sun rolls down, big as a miracle 
    F              C       F 
And fades from the Midwest sky 
        C          
And the corn and the trees 
Am          C 
Wave in the breeze 
   F     G          C 
As if to say goodbye 


                               Am 
Oh, my grandfather stood right here as a younger man 
   F            C        F 
In nineteen and forty-three 
             C          
And with the sweat and his tears 
    Am           C 
The rain and the years 
        F             G        C 
He grew life from the soil and seed 


        F     C           Am       F 
Oh, I'm going down to the dreaming fields 
                    C        F 
But what will be my harvest now 
            Am        Em         F      Dm 
Where every tear that falls on a memory feels 
     F         G      C 
Like rain on a rusted plough 
F         G      C 
Rain on a rusted plough 


                                Am                       F 
And these fields, they dream of wheat in the summertime 
              C       F 
Grandchildren running free 
        C          
And the bales of hay 
       Am         C 
At the end of the day 
        F              G           C 
And the scarecrow that just scared me 


                              Am 
Now the houses they grow like weeds in a flower bed 
     F           C    F 
This morning the silo fell 
          C          
Seems the only way a man 
    Am           C 
Can live off the land 
      F           G       C 
These days, is to buy and sell 


 
        F     C           Am       F 
So, I'm going down to the dreaming fields 
                    C        F 
But what will be my harvest now 
            Am        Em         F      Dm 
Where every tear that falls on a memory feels 
     F         G      F 
Like rain on a rusted plough 
          G      F 
Rain on a rusted plough 



Bridge: 
         Am          Em          F 
Like the rain on the roof on the porch by the kitchen 
         Am          Em           F 
Where my grandmother sings, I can hear if I listen 
        Am            Em          F          G  F  C     F 
Running down, running down to the end of the world____ 
                C        F 
This will be my harvest now 


Instrumental: Am  Em  C  F    C  F    G  F  


N.C.     C               Am 
When the sun rolls down, big as a miracle 
    F              C       F 
And fades from the Midwest sky 
        C          
And the corn and the trees 
Am          C 
Wave in the breeze 
   F     G          C 
As if to say goodbye 
                 F      C  F    C 
As if to say goodbye
