The Day We Sold The Farm chords

[G]City Lights are cold tonight, they make a man feel [D]small
To [D]me they say you can work all day with [C]no return at [D]all
And [G]so I dream of a mountain stream lit by a pearly [C]dawn
I've [C]never lost the [G]feeling for the [D]place where I was [G]born

[G]Highway life gets in your sights and soon ambitions [D]grow
Till [D]business clowns start coming round with [C]easy foreign [D]loans
It's [G]their disguise to look surprised as your feet just leave the [C]ground
Next [C]thing and auction [G]day is set, the [D]banks have closed it [G]down

And I'm [D]heading over mountains down the [C]slopes of brown and [G]green
My [D]family's farmed for a 100 years, those [C]valleys in b[D]etween
And [G]yes I used to curse those hills and the rain when I was [C]young
Oh I [C]never saw their [G]charm till the [D]day we sold the [G]farm

And I [C]never thought that I'd be bought and sold on Market [G]Day
They [A7]gave away a lifetime with the cattle and the [D]hay
And the [G]thistles by the riverside and the bracken on the [C]run
No I [C]never saw their [G]charm till the [D]day we sold the [G]farm

Now [G]tourists stroll round eighteen holes where fruit tree used to [D]grow
[D]Accountants talk while farmers walk with [C]nowhere else to [D]go
If there's [G]work around in the local town they might be hanging [C]on
While [C]trying to find a [G]way back to the [D]place where they be[G]long

And I [C]never thought that I'd be bought and sold on Market [G]Day
They [A7]gave away a lifetime with the cattle and the [D]hay
And the [G]thistles by the riverside And the bracken on the [C]run
No I [C]never saw their [G]charm till the [D]day we sold the [G]farm

So I'm [D]heading over mountains down the [C]slopes of brown and [G]green
[D]Trying to find a way back to what [C]once belonged to [D]me
Oh [G]how I used to curse those hills And the rain when I was [C]young
No I [C]never saw their [G]charm till the [D]day we sold the [G]farm
