My father said, "Some things you learn
        F C  G                   C
Only by doing when it comes your turn
                                            Am
Everything comes around, so be ready if you can
             F              G                C
Prepare your heart like the farmer turns the land"


CHORUS:
N.C.           Am                               Em  Am
You plant your fields when the spring is tender
                                         Dm   Am  Dm
When the summer beats down, you pray for rain
                 C      Em                   F
You hope for the harvest__ and the long cold winter
             E     N.C.         Am   Em  Am
And then you plant your fields again


               C              Am
He spoke right to my restless soul
               F   C G              C
Still wild and hungry and beyond control
                                             Am
For all that you dream, there's a time and a place
              F      G                   C
But you won't know it 'til it comes your way


CHORUS:
N.C.           Am                               Em  Am
You plant your fields when the spring is tender
                                         Dm   Am  Dm
When the summer beats down, you pray for rain
                 C      Em                   F
You hope for the harvest__ and the long cold winter
             E     N.C.         Am   Em  Am
And then you plant your fields again


CHORUS:
                          Em  Am
When the spring is tender
                                         Dm   Am  Dm
When the summer beats down, you pray for rain
                 C      Em                F
You hope for the harvest__ and the long cold winter
             E     N.C.         Am   Em  Am
And then you plant your fields again

                                         Em  Am
You plant your fields, your fields again
                                         Em  Am
You plant your fields, your fields again
                                         Em  Am
You plant your fields, your fields again
