Brothers Four – Greenfields chords
Chords:
May not be exact, but this is how I play it. I'm cribbing from videos I've seen of performances by the Brothers Four. Capo 2nd fret. For the intro, strum the chords, then arpeggiate -- listen to the song to hear how specifically to do it. The strumming pattern for the rest of the song is very easy: two down strokes for each chord. There appears to be some palm muting as well. Intro: Am Dm Am E Verse:Am Dm Am EOnce there were green fields kissed by the sunAm Dm Am EOnce there were valleys where rivers used to runChorus:F G C A7*Once there were blue skies with white clouds high aboveDm7 G7 C EOnce they were part of an everlasting loveAm Dm Am E F Am Dm EWe were the lovers who strolled through green fieldsGreen fields are gone now, parched by the sun Gone from the valleys where rivers used to run Gone with the cold wind that swept into my heart Gone with the lovers who let their dreams depart Where are the green fields that we used to roam Bridge:F CI'll never know what made you run awayF CHow can I keep searching when dark clouds hide the dayAm DmI only know there's nothing here for meAm Dm F ENothing in this wide world, left for me to seeVerse: Still I'll keep on waiting until you return I'll keep on waiting until the day you learn Chorus: You can't be happy while your heart's on the roam You can't be happy until you bring it home Home to the green fields and me once again Coda: strum, then arpeggiate Am-Dm-Am-E pattern, then end with an Am, barred at the 5th fret.
