Verse 1:
  Dm D5    Dm                      C/G
	To evergreen fields of my youth i will sing
            Bb                         A
	My steps left no footprints behind
            Dm                       C/G
	No fruit of the harvest lent weight to my pockets
               Bb                         A
	Small knowledge was stowed in my mind
             F                      Dm
	Now youth has forsaken this old man
            F                        Dm
	My seasons are numbered by three
            F                            Dm
	No seeds have been sown in the plowed fields
                       C/G        Dm
	No harvest is waiting for me


Verse 2:
         Dm                       C/G
	A cripple for life is the fate of the loner
             Bb                         A
	No fruit will be borne by his tree
               Dm                             C/G
	These foughts pierce my mind while in echoes of memories
            Bb                           A
	A young voice too late calls to me
              F                              Dm
	Come run through my dream fields,you old man
          F                       Dm
	Search beyond your windowsill
            F                            Dm
	Go touch my high moutains and valleys
                             C/G        Dm
	Come sleep 'neath my evergreen fields
