There's a

pasture    in the   countryside
        Bbmaj7    Gm7      C    
 I    used to call my own.      
C/Bb C/A  C/G
 There's a
F         Am        Dm       F7
  natural  pillow   for my   
        Bbmaj7    Gm7    
head.   The grass there is

overgrown.      I
C                   Bb       F

day  but they do not count the time.
F                   Dm7      G

place inside of    every man
