Houses In The Fields by John Gorka
Houses In The Fields
Capo:no capo
Intro:
G D C
Em D C
Verse 1:
G D C
They're growing houses in the fields between the towns
Em D C G
And the Starlight Drive-in movie's closing down
G D C
The road is gone to the way it was before
Em D C
And the spaces won't be spaces anymore
Verse 2:
G D C
Two more farms were broken by the drought
Em D C G
First the Wagners now the Fullers pulling out
G D C
Developers paid better than the corn
Em D C
But this was not the place where they were born
Chorus:
G C D
There's houses in the fields, no prayers for steady rain this year
C D C
Houses in the fields, there's houses in the fields
G Am D G C
The last few farms are growing out of here
Verse 3:
G D C
At first he wouldn't sell and then he would
Em D C G
Now there'll be children playing where the silos stood
G D C
The word came from the marrow of his bones
Em D C
It was the last sure way to pay off all the loans
Verse 4:
G D C
The new streets will be named for kings and queens
Em D C G
And a ransom will be paid for every castle's dream
G D C
The model sign is crested with a lion
Em D C
And the farmers they will have enough to die on
(Chorus)
Verse 5:
G D C
Oh I guess no one should be afraid of change
Em D C
G
But tell me why is there a fence for every open range?
G D C
It's a sign I'm getting on in years
Em D C
When nothing new is welcome to these eyes and ears
(Chorus)
Final Verse:
G D C
They're growing houses in the fields between the towns
Em D C G
And the Starlight Drive-in movie is all closed down
G D C
The road is gone to the way it was before
Em D C
And the spaces won't be spaces anymore
G Am D G
No the spaces won't be spaces anymore
