Fields

Intro:
             Am              C 
It's been a long time since we talked 
            Am 
Call me back when you're free 
                C 
I left him a voicemail that reads 


 
           G 
"Dear, grandad 
It's been so many months that I haven't called 
C 
 Seems as always something more important on my to do list 
G 
 All that I'm missing, chasing everything I lack, grandad 
C 
 Seems I dwell on what I don't have instead of what I do 
        G 
And it's weird that I wear lipstick and put a kiss on the back of my hand 
C 
 So I can see what my love looks like when I'm alone 
G 
 And how are you, grandad? Do you get lonely too, grandad? 
C                                                            
 'Cause right now I could use a call home, I just wanna be free (Free) 
 

 
    C 
You see? (Free) 
                                       G 
Like a child, rolling (Running) down a hill (Rolling down a hill) 
                          C 
In a field of golden and green 
                        Em 
Where every burden that weighs on me (Ah) 
                      D 
Will fall away like a soft rain 
               G 
And fall into a stream (Stream) 
                         C 
In fields of golden and green (Green) 
 

 
                           G 
I wanna be rid of the nothingness that waits for me in the living room 
        C                                                                 G 
Do you still play the piano, Grandad? Play me something, play me Clair de lune 
My goodness me, where did all the time go? 
C 
When did I go from being a kid? 
                                        G 
My mum tucking me into to bed, to this grown up Grandad (Dun, dun, dun, dun, dun) 
Is this as good as it gets? (Dun, dun, dun, dun, dun) 
C 
 My other pillows never touched, it gathers dust and yet (Dun, dun, dun, dun, dun) 
G 
 I'll pray to Jesus that this sinking feeling won't succeed (Dun, dun, dun, dun, dun) 
C 
 And I'll have a zest for life like when I was 18 (Dun, dun, dun, dun, dun) 
 

 
    G 
You see? (You see?; Free) 
                 C 
I just wanna be free (I just wanna be free; Free) 
                    G 
Free of every single care (Every single care) 
                         C 
In a field of golden and red 
                      Em 
And every burden that weighs on me (Ah) 
                      D 
Will fall away like a soft rain 
                  G 
And fall into a stream (Stream) 
                         C 
In fields of golden and green (Green) 
 

 
Grandad 
G                                             C 
Hello, Rachel, seems to been a while since we last spoken 
             G 
There's no today passes by when I don't think of you 
          C 
You asked me if I ever get lonely 
                          G 
You can feel lonely in a crowded room 
                                            C 
Spoken like a true poet, grandad is a songwriter, you see? 
                                             G 
We were both born little with big dreams and he'd tell me stories 
                             C 
How back in his day, he (I) wrote and he (I) wrote till his (My) hands wrecked with pain 
       Em                                                          D 
And he said something to me and brought these tears to my eyes, he said 
Who will hear my songs when I die? 
       G 
And I told him, "Grandad, so long as God gives me life 
  C                                                   G 
I will practice your song and I will give it my best try"

I just wanna be free, yeah (Free) 
              G 
Free of every single care (Every single care) 
                         C 
In a field of golden and red 
                      Em 
And every burden that weighs on me (Ah) 
                      D 
Will fall away like a soft rain 
                  G 
And fall into a stream (Stream) 
                         C 
In fields of golden and green (Green) 
                       G    F C 
In fields of golden and (Free)

I don't wanna be sad no more (No more, no more, no more, no more) 
I just want to live glory love (And never forget, my love, you'll always be grandad's little girl)
