Oh, the sun rolls down, big as a miracle

And fades from the Midwest Sky

And the corn and the trees wave in the breeze

As if to say goodbye

Oh, my grandfather stood right here as a younger man

In nineteen and forty three
C F G C
And with the sweat and his tears, the rain and the years
F G C
He grew life from the soil and seed

Oh I'm goin' down to the dreaming fields
C F
But what will be my harvest now
G C F
Where every tear that falls on a memory feels
F
Like rain on the rusted plow

Rain on the rusted plow
C F G C
And these fields they dream of wheat in the summertime

Grandchildren running free
C F G C
And the bales of hay at the end of the day
F C
And the scarecrow that just scared me
C F G C
Now the houses they grow like weeds in a flower bed
F C
This morning the silo fell
C F G C F
Seems the only way a man can live off the land these days

Is to buy and sell

Oh I'm goin' down to the dreaming fields

But what will be my harvest now

Where every tear that falls on a memory feels

Like rain on the rusted plow

Rain on the rusted plow

Like the rain on the roof on the porch by the kitchen

Where as my grandmother sings, I can hear if I listen
F G C
Running down, running down to the end of the world I loved
This will be my harvest now

And the sun rolls down, big as a miracle

And fades in the Midwest sky

And the corn and the trees wave in the breeze

As if to say goodbye

As if to say goodbye
G means the G is optional
