[F#] The town I came from [C#] was quiet and small.
We played in the meadows where the [F#] grass grew so tall.
In summer the lilacs would grow [C#] everywhere.
The laughter of children would float in the [F#] air.
As I grew older I [C#] had to roam far from my family, far [F#] from my home.
Into the city where [C#] lives can be spent, lost in the shadows of [F#] tar and cement.
Into the city [C#] where I had my eye on all the pleasure that money [F#] can buy.
Yet [D#m] I can see it all so clearly now, still [F#] going on.
Yes I [D#m] can see it all so clearly now, still [F#] going on.
Each day I'd wake up and look [C#] up the sky.
I'd think of the meadows where I [F#] used to lie.
Then I'd remember all [C#] of its gone.
You're in the city, better [F#] push on.
Get what you came for, before [C#] it's too late.
Get what you came for, metal [F#] can wait.
[D#m] So every night I sit alone under my [F#] loneliness.
Up [D#m] in my ranches of tar and [F#] cement.
Many years later, tired [C#] at last, I headed for home to look for [F#] my past.
I looked for the meadows that [C#] widened a trail.
Six-legged the highway had taken her [F#] place.
Where were the light lights and all that [C#] they meant?
Nothing but acres of tar and [F#] cement.
[D#m] Yet I can see it all so clearly now, though all of [F#] it's gone.
Yes I [D#m] can see it all so clearly now, [F#] where has it gone?
Where are the [D#m] meadows?
Where are the light lights?
[F#] Where are the [D#m] children?
[F#] [D#m]
