His Hometown Cheryl Wheeler
CAPO: 2nd Fret
INTRO: G C G C G C D
[G] [C] [D] [Em] [C] [D] [G]
When he was a boy, [C]sitting in school
[D/F#]Staring out the windows at the [G]fields he knew
All that he wanted was to [C]be there too
[D/F#]Driving his tractor through the [C]morning [D]dew
[G]Dust from the sun, [C]mud from the rain
[D/F#]Felt like an honour to him [G]all the same
It's the simplest thing, he's a [C]self taught man
[D/F#]He loves his work because he [C]loves the la[D]nd
CHORUS:
He can[G] change the [C]hills,[G] plant the [C]trees[G]
Dig the [C]wells,[D] spread the seeds[G]
Mow the [C]fields,[D] plough the [Em]streets
In [C]his [D]home [G]town
When the seasons roll by, [C]year into year
He's [D/F#]worked all his life and he's [G]worked right here
The winter's go slow if the [C]snows don't come
But it's [D/F#]soon to be summer when the [C]tractors [D]hum
CHORUS:
He can[G] change the [C]hills,[G] plant the [C]trees[G]
Dig the [C]wells,[D] spread the seeds[G]
Mow the [C]fields,[D] plough the [Em]streets
In [C]his [D]home [G]town[C]
BRIDGE:
I've seen him do things I just [G]can't believe[C]
Makes gentle [Am]giants of those big ma[D]chines[C]
He moves a boulder like a [D]paper [G]bag[C]
He moves a [Am]tree like it was all he [D]had
He can[G] change the [C]hills
INSTRUMENTAL: G C G C D G C D Em C D G
And blessed is the soul who has [C]truly found
[D/F#]Something to rest on while the [G]world turns 'round
I think he'd say, this is [C]how he feels
When the [D/F#]dark earth is turning under[C]neath his [D]wheels
CHORUS:
He can[G] change the [C]hills,[G] plant the [C]trees[G]
Dig the [C]wells,[D] spread the seeds[G]
Mow the [C]fields,[D] plough the [Em]streets
In [C]his [D]home [G]town
In [C]his [D]home [G]town
