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