City Lights are cold tonight, they make a man feel small
D C D
To me they say you can work all day with no return at all
G C
And so I dream of a mountain stream lit by a pearly dawn
C G D G
I've never lost the feeling for the place where I was born
G D
Highway life gets in your sights and soon ambitions grow
D C D
Till business clowns start coming round with easy foreign loans
G C
It's their disguise to look surprised as your feet just leave the ground
C G D G
Next thing and auction day is set, the banks have closed it down
D C G
And I'm heading over mountains down the slopes of brown and green
D C D
My family's farmed for a 100 years, those valleys in between
G C
And yes I used to curse those hills and the rain when I was young
C G D G
Oh I never saw their charm till the day we sold the farm
C G
And I never thought that I'd be bought and sold on Market Day
A7 D
They gave away a lifetime with the cattle and the hay
G C
And the thistles by the riverside and the bracken on the run
C G D G
No I never saw their charm till the day we sold the farm
G D
Now tourists stroll round eighteen holes where fruit tree used to grow
D C D
Accountants talk while farmers walk with nowhere else to go
G C
If there's work around in the local town they might be hanging on
C G D G
While trying to find a way back to the place where they belong
C G
And I never thought that I'd be bought and sold on Market Day
A7 D
They gave away a lifetime with the cattle and the hay
G C
And the thistles by the riverside And the bracken on the run
C G D G
No I never saw their charm till the day we sold the farm
D C G
So I'm heading over mountains down the slopes of brown and green
D C D
Trying to find a way back to what once belonged to me
G C
Oh how I used to curse those hills And the rain when I was young
C G D G
No I never saw their charm till the day we sold the farm
