Evergreen Billy Joe Shaver
Verse 1:
[Dm] [D5] To [Dm]evergreen fields of my y[C/G]outh i will sing
My s[Bb]teps left no footprints beh[A]ind
No f[Dm]ruit of the harvest lent [C/G]weight to my pockets
Small k[Bb]nowledge was stowed in my m[A]ind
Now y[F]outh has forsaken this [Dm]old man
My s[F]easons are numbered by th[Dm]ree
No s[F]eeds have been sown in the pl[Dm]owed fields
No harvest is w[C/G]aiting for [Dm]me
Verse 2:
A[Dm] cripple for life is the [C/G]fate of the loner
No fr[Bb]uit will be borne by his tr[A]ee
These f[Dm]oughts pierce my mind while in [C/G]echoes of memories
A yo[Bb]ung voice too late calls to m[A]e
Come r[F]un through my dream fields,you [Dm]old man
Se[F]arch beyond your windows[Dm]ill
Go t[F]ouch my high moutains and val[Dm]leys
Come sleep 'neath my [C/G]evergreen f[Dm]ields
