Who Will Watch The Home Place (Laurie Lewis) Capo 4 GCD Am
Please let me know if this need correcting.
(G)Leaves are falling and turning to (C)showers of gold
(G)As the postman climbs up our long (D)hill
(G)And there's sympathy written all over his (C)face
(Am)As he hands (C) me a couple more (D)bills
(G)Who will watch the home place
(C)Who will tend my hearts dear space
(G)Who will fill my empty place
(Am)When I am (D)gone from (G)here
There's a lovely green nook by a clear-running stream
It was my place when I was quite small
And it's creatures and sounds could soothe my worst pains
But today they don't ease me at all
In my grandfather's shed there are hundreds of tools
I know them by feel and by name
And like parts of my body they've patched this old place
When I move them they won't be the same
Now I wander around touching each blessed thing
The chimney the tables the trees
And my memories swirl 'round me like birds on the wing
When I leave here oh who will I be
