  			Intro G 

Verso 1:

G                      C  G          
I'll close my eyes and listen 
G/F# Em                 C  
To   you, the corn come out 
          Am       Em               C 
Don't you hear the stars, they glisten 
   G     D      C    C/B  C/A 
As we go in and out 

G                            C  G 
Down where the trees grow together 
G/F#    Em                       C 
And the western path comes to an end 
           Am      Em              C   
To see the sign it says 'clear weather' 
     G          D         C 
I'll meet you tonight, my friend 



         G                  C 
Will the corn be growing a little tonight 
     G                      D 
As I wait in the fields for you? 
    C          D            Em      C 
Who knows what grows in the morning light 
            G        D      G 
When we can feel the watery dew? 

 Verso 2:

G                             C G  
I just can't be there with no other 
G/F# Em                       C 
I    know those hills will be true 
 Am          Em            C  
Away from my sister and brother 
    G                D          C 
And down through the grasses so blue 

G                    C   G 
The air is sweet and steady 
G/F# Em                   C 
And  flowers bloom out of sight 
  Am       Em         C 
I know the sky is ready 
    G             D      C 
Come meet me down here tonight 



         G                  C 
Will the corn be growing a little tonight 
     G                      D 
As I wait in the fields for you? 
    C          D            Em      C 
Who knows what grows in the morning light 
            G        D      G    C  G 
When we can feel the watery dew?
