Subject: CRD: Houses In The Fields (John Gorka)
(from the 1991 album, "Jack's Crows)
Intro:
F G F
Dm G F
Verse 1:
F G F They're growing houses in the fields between the towns Dm G F F And the Starlight Drive-in movie's closing down F G F The road is gone to the way it was before Dm G F And the spaces won't be spaces anymore
Verse 2:
F G F Two more farms were broken by the drought Dm G F F First the Wagners now the Fullers pulling out F G F Developers paid better than the corn Dm G F But this was not the place where they were born
Chorus:
F F G There's houses in the fields, no prayers for steady rain this year F G F Houses in the fields, there's houses in the fields F Dm G F F The last few farms are growing out of here
Verse 3:
F G F At first he wouldn't sell and then he would Dm G F F Now there'll be children playing where the silos stood F G F The word came from the marrow of his bones Dm G F It was the last sure way to pay off all the loans
Verse 4:
F G F The new streets will be named for kings and queens Dm G F F And a ransom will be paid for every castle's dream F G F The model sign is crested with a lion Dm G F And the farmers they will have enough to die on
(Chorus)
Verse 5:
F G F Oh I guess no one should be afraid of change
Dm G F
F But tell me why is there a fence for every open range? F G F It's a sign I'm getting on in years Dm G F When nothing new is welcome to these eyes and ears
(Chorus)
Final Verse:
F G F They're growing houses in the fields between the towns Dm G F F And the Starlight Drive-in movie is all closed down F G F The road is gone to the way it was before Dm G F And the spaces won't be spaces anymore F Dm G F No the spaces won't be spaces anymore
