Thanks for coming.
Yeah, my pleasure.
We'll do it again.
Before two years.
_ _ I _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ am, I am Phil [Ab] Care. _ _
[Eb] I was born [Gm] [C] a farmer's [Cm] son. _
My father taught [Bb] me [Ab] parks.
Told [Eb] me that the land [Gm] could teach me how [Cm] to grow. _
If I could keep and [Ab] bend my heart, I'd never [Eb] be apart from [Gm] the ebb and [Cm] flow of life. _
_ I still [Ab] hear the words of the one and [Eb] only.
_ _ _ [Cm] _ _ _
[Ab] The [Eb] land on which we stand [Bb] is the only [Cm] thing we have [Ab] against [Bb] [Eb] the weak [Bb] of our hearts. _ _
[Ab] Learn to [Bb] treat the land like a tree grown [C] to end [Ab] time.
[Bb] _ Cherish the [Cm] gifts the old _ _ _ _ _ _ lover made his [Ab] train.
The woman knocked [Eb] on my door, said it's [Cm] time.
_ _ Those words struck deep in [Ab] my heart.
To lose the [Eb] family's farm [Gm] is to lose [Cm] all I know.
_ _ My father's faith [C] in his [Ab] mother's support is what I wish [Eb] for my [Gm] son who lies still [C] yet unmoved.
[Cm] _ _ All he could say, all he could [Ab] say is I'm sorry.
[Eb] Leave no one [Gm] can get [Cm] back.
_ _ [Ab] The [Eb] land on which we stand, [Bb] the [F] thing we [Ab] have that kills us back, [Bb] the weak of our lives.
_ [Fm] So learn to [Eb] treat the land [Gm] like a tree grown [C] to end [Ab] time.
[Bb] _ Cherish [C] the gifts. _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ [Cm] _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ [Ab] _ _ Oh, [Eb] oh, _ _ _ [Bb] _ _ _ _
[C] _ [Cm] _ oh.
[Ab] _ _ _ _
[Eb] _ _ [Bb] _ _ [Cm] _ _ _
You see, sir, seeds [Ab] can learn to be and what we grow is [Eb] who we are.
[Bb] It is sacred, [Cm] it is. _
And greed, greed [Bb] is the [Ab] destroyer, takes [Eb] vision from our [Bb] eyes and the land we [Cm] drown. _
And [Ab] the land [Eb] on which we [Bb] stand is the only thing [Cm] we have that [Ab] kills us back, [Eb] the [Bb] weak of our lives. _
[Ab] So learn to [Bb] treat the land like a tree grown [C] to end [Ab] time.
_ [Gm] Cherish [C] the gifts. _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ And [Ab] if it [Eb] all comes [Bb] crashing down, _ [Gm] I don't have the [Bb] strength to say [Cm] this. _ _
[Ab] And if the road's [Eb] less meant for [Bb] we, _ [Eb]
please know that [Gm] I'll try [Bb] my best.
