Houses In The Fields

Intro:
G D C
Em D  C


Verse 1:
G                                 
They're growing houses in the 
            D                      
fields between the towns
    C

Em                                
And the Starlight Drive-in movie's
    D                       C    G
 closing down
G                                  
The road is gone to the way it was 
D              C
before
             Em               
And the spaces won't be spaces 
     D          C
anymore


Verse 2:
G                                
Two more farms were broken by the
D                   C
 drought
Em                                
First the Wagners now the Fullers 
    D                    C    G
pulling out
G                       D        
Developers paid better than the 
             C
corn
      Em                    D  
But this was not the place where 
                              C
they were born


Chorus:
G C                           D
There's houses in the fields, no 
prayers for steady rain this year

C                   D            
Houses in the fields, there's 
                            C
houses in the fields
G Am                          D 
The last few farms are growing 
                   G        C
out of here


Verse 3:
G                          D     
At first he wouldn't sell and 
                  C
then he would
Em                               
Now there'll be children playing 
D                          C     
where the silos stood
          G

G                                 
The word came from the marrow of 
   D                   C
his bones
               Em                  
It was the last sure way to pay off
  D                    C
 all the loans


Verse 4:
G                                 
The new streets will be named for 
D                              C
kings and queens
         Em                   D   
And a ransom will be paid for 
                 C                 
every castle's dream
   G

G                         D      
The model sign is crested with a 
              C
lion
             Em               
And the farmers they will have 
      D                      C
enough to die on


(Chorus)


Verse 5:
G                                 
Oh I guess no one should be afraid
    D                C
 of change
                 Em                
 D                      C
                 G
But tell me why is there a fence for
 every open range?
G                  D             
It's a sign I'm getting on in 
     C
years
         Em                  D    
When nothing new is welcome to 
                      C
these eyes and ears


(Chorus)


Final Verse:
G                                 
They're growing houses in the 
            D                      
fields between the towns
    C

            Em                     
And the Starlight Drive-in movie is
 D            C             G
 all closed down
G                                  
The road is gone to the way it was 
D              C
before
             Em               
And the spaces won't be spaces 
     D          C
anymore
G Am                       
No the spaces won't be spaces 
     D              G
anymore
