I've been telling my songwriting students all week, it's all about intention.
And if you have the intention of being a songwriter, you're going to be listening.
You're listening for all the details, all the little ordinary details that stand for an extraordinary reality.
A few years back, I was passing a little farm, and there was a for sale sign on it.
And [E] I went by really quickly, and _ it looked really well tended.
And I thought, those people don't want to leave.
_ And I heard the little voice, and then [D] I was down the [D] road, and it was gone, but I heard the little voice singing in my head.
And it sang, When I am gone from here, [F] _ da da da.
[Em] And because I have the intention of being a songwriter, I knew, okay, that's the beginning [E] of a song. _ _ _ _ _
The leaves are falling and turning in showers of [C] gold, as the boastman climbs up our long [B]
hill.
_ And there's [E] sympathy written all over his [A] face, as he hands [G#] me a couple [F#] more. _
_ _ _ _ _ [E] Who'll watch _ the home place?
_ _ _ Who'll tend [G#] my heart's [G] dear space? _ _ _
[E] _ [A] Who'll fill [E] my empty _ _ [A] _ place when [E] I am _ gone? _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ There's a lovely green nook by the clear [A] running [E] stream.
It was my place when I was [B] quite small.
_ And [E] its creatures and sounds could soothe [B] my worst pains.
[A] But today they [G#] don't [F#m] ease me _ [B] at all.
_ _ [E] _ _ _ Who'll watch the _ home place?
_ _ _ Who'll tend my heart's dear _ _ space?
_ _ [B] Who'll fill my _ empty [A] _ _ place when [E] _ I am [G#] _ gone [E] from here? _ _ _ _
In my _ grandfather's shed there are hundreds of toots.
I know them by [F#] feel and [B] by name.
_ [E] _ Like parts of my body, [B] they patch this old place.
If I [A] move them, they [A#] won't [B] be the same.
_ _ _ _ [E] _
_ Who'll watch [C#] the _ home place?
_ _ _ Who'll tend my _ heart's dear _ space?
_ _ _ Who'll fill my _ empty _ _ place when _ I am _ gone from here? _
_ _ [F#] Now I _ wander around, touching each blessed [E] thing.
The chimney, the [C#] tootles, the trees.
_ And the memories swirl around me like birds on the wing.
When I leave here, oh, who [B] will I be? _ _
_ _ [E] _ _ Who'll [A] _
watch the _ home place? _ _
_ _ Who'll tend my [C#] heart's dear _ space? _
_ _ Who'll fill my _ empty _ _ place when _ _ I am [G#] _
gone?
