               In...   ...morning...   ...bed.....sparrows.sing...sky....red,
(continue at "When the summer's...") [Verse 1]
       D           G/D D              D/F#             G
In the quiet misty mor-ning, when the moon has gone to bed,

         G   D/A             Bm      Bm/A    GM7              A
When the sparrows stop their singing and the sky is clear and red,

         D                   G/D  D              D/F#             G
When the summer's ceased its glea-ming, when the corn is past its prime,

        G D/A             Bm       Bm/A    GM7      G/A      D
When adventure's lost its meaning, I'll be homeward bound in time.
[Chorus]
D       G          G  D     D/F#     G   D/A    A
Bind me not to the pasture. Chain me not to the plow.

D/F#   G       D/A     Bm          Bm/A   GM7     G/A     D
Set me free to find my calling and I'll return to you somehow.
[Verse 2]
        D                  G/D  D              D/F#          G
If you find it's me you're miss-ing, if you're hoping I'll return,

        G        D/A          Bm         Bm/A   GM7                A
To your thoughts I'll soon be list'ning; in the road I'll stop and turn.

         D                G/D D         D/F#              G
Then the wind will set me rac-ing as my journey nears its end,

        G    D/A       Bm      Bm/A     GM7      G/A    D
And the path I'll be retracing when I'm homeward bound again.
[Chorus]
D       G          G  D     D/F#     G   D/A    A
Bind me not to the pasture. Chain me not to the plow.

D/F#   G       D/A     Bm          Bm/A   GM7     G/A     D
Set me free to find my calling and I'll return to you somehow.

         G   D/A             Bm      Bm/A    GM7      G/A    D
When the sparrows stop their singing I'll be homeward bound again.
