The Field

--THIS IS NOT IN THE SAME KEY AS THE RECORDING--

It is five half steps higher than the recording. If you want to play along, 

transpose it down by 5 half steps...



G                                   D

Every step I take takes me farther from you

 D7                 C                    G      D

Every move I make reminds me that I'll always love you

G                                           D

Since you were a child we built our lives around you

  D                       C               G         D

How'm I supposed to live in this world we made without you?





C                                 G    D

Sometimes late at night I go the field

C                     

Is that where you are?

C                     G   D

Are you a shooting star?

C                   

Can you say my name?

C                G     D

Darling can you hear me?

C                                              G      D

Tell me where's your heart now that it stopped beating?

C                                            G

It's right here, it's right here, it's right here





G                                        D

When you joined the war we were so proud of you

   D7                   C               G          D

You seemed so grown up, living life the way we taught you

     G                                            D         

Then your first letter came, it sounded nothing like you

     D7                    C                   G     D

It took all my strength to keep myself from running to you





C                                 G    D

Sometimes late at night I go the field

C                     

Is that where you are?

C                     G   D

Are you a shooting star?

C                   

Can you say my name?

C                G     D

Darling can you hear me?

C                                              G      D

Tell me where's your heart now that it stopped beating?

C                                            G

It's right here, it's right here, it's right here





G         C        G      G      C          G

And it will always be until the sun dries the ocean

G           C      G              C

And you will always be my little one

If I was the President, if I was that man

Am                               C                G     

I would walk out with those kids, out across the sand

Em                      C                G        

If I was the President, if I was that brave

Am                         C                        G      

I would take a shovel, then dig each child their grave

Em                       C                    G      

If I was the President, and my world turned black

Am                      C                   G     

I would want no victory, I'd just want you back





Em                     C                   G      

I don't want no victory, I just want you back

Am                     C                   G             

I don't want no victory, I just want you back     

Em                     C                   G      

I don't want no victory, I just want you back

Am                     C                   G         D       

I don't want no victory, I just want you back     





C                                 G    D

Sometimes late at night I go the field

C                     

Is that where you are?

C                     G   D

Are you a shooting star?

C                   

Can you say my name?

C                G     D

C                                              G      D

Tell me where's your heart now that it stopped beating?

C                                            G        D

It's right here, it's right here, it's right here

C                                            G        D

It's right here, it's right here, it's right here

C                                            G        

It's right here, it's right here, it's right here
