John Gorka – Houses In The Fields (Guitar)

                G             D                 C
They're growing houses in the field between the towns

        Em                 D               C     G
And the Starlight Drive-in movie's closing down

                        D            C
The road is gone to the way it was before

        Em              D         C
And the spaces won't be spaces anymore

G                   D             C
Two more farms were broken by the drought

          Em              D               C    G
First the Wagners now the Fullers pulling out

                D               C
Developers paid better than the corn

    Em               D                     C      G C
But this was not the place where they were born

                      D        
There's houses in the fields

                                     C
No prayers for steady rain this year

              D      
Houses in the fields

                        C       G Am
There's houses in the fields

                       D               G      C
The last few farms are growing out of here

   G                 D                 C
At first he wouldn't sell and then he would

    Em                   D                 C            G
Now there'll be children playing where the silos stood

                       D              C
The word came from the marrow of his bones

           Em               D                C
It was the last sure way to pay off all the loans

    G                   D                     C
The new streets will be named for kings and queens

      Em             D              C               G
And a ransom will be paid for every castle's dream

                  D                C
The model sign is crested with a lion

        Em                D                  C    G C
And the farmers they will have enough to die on

                      D        
There's houses in the fields

                                     C
No prayers for steady rain this year

              D      
Houses in the fields

                        C       G Am
There's houses in the fields

                       D               G      C
The last few farms are growing out of here

      G                   D              C
Oh, I guess no one should be afraid of change

             Em             D               C           G
But, tell me why is there a fence for every open range?

                D             C
It's a sign I'm getting on in years

     Em             D                C               G C
When nothing new is welcome to these eyes and ears

                     D        
Just houses in the fields

                                C
No prayers for steady rain this year

              D      
Houses in the fields

                        C       G Am
There's houses in the fields

                       D               G      C
The last few farms are growing out of here

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

        Em                 D           C       G
And the Starlight Drive-in movie is all closed down

                        D            C
The road is gone to the way it was before

        Em              D         C      G Am
And the spaces won't be spaces anymore

                       D         G
No the spaces won't be spaces anymore
