[CHORUS 1]
The [C] grassesx grow [G7] tallx 'til the hay it is [C] mownx
Then the fields lie [G7] stillx till the new seed is [C] sownx [C7] xxxx
Many children standing [F] herex have watched the grass wave in the [C] windx
We're the ones who stand here [G7] now,x but many others will a[C]gainx

[VERSE]
Long, long ago these [G7] fieldsx and the crops that they grew [C] herex
Might decide a family's [G7] fatex for, say, another [C] yearx [C7] xxxx
Like the grasses that grow [F] tallx and get cut down for the [C] hayx
So generations moved in [G7] here,x made their marks and moved a[C]wayx

After clearing off the [G7] landx and piling up their long stone [C] wallsx
They walked miles for the [G7] seed,x then they hoped the good rains [C] fallx [C7] xxxx
And if the rains come down [F] rightx and all the crops grew tall and [C] strongx
Families had enough to [G7] eatx for another winter [C] longx

People's lives may grow to [G7] knowx the value of these fields a[C]gainx
