The Stanley Brothers – The Fields Have Turned Brown (Guitar)

               D
I left my old home, to ramble this country

               G                       D
My mother and dad, said son don't go wrong.

               G                      D
Remember that God, will always watch over you.

                 A                       D
And we will be waiting, for you here at home.

              G                         D
Son don't go astray, was what they both told me.

                A                     D
Remember that love, for God can be found.

                      G                      D
But now they're both gone, this letter just told me.

D                       A
For years they've been dead, the fields have turned brown.

               D
For many long years, I've travelled in sorrow.

                  G                   D
No thought of the day, when I would return.

               G                      D
Now as I come home, and find no one waiting,

                  A                    D
the price I have paid, to live and to learn.

              G                         D
Son don't go astray, was what they both told me.

                A                     D
Remember that love, for God can be found.

                      G                      D
But now they're both gone, this letter just told me.

D                       A
For years they've been dead, the fields have turned brown.
