D...
[Verse]
DShe was born on a farm?
GWorking the clay?
Bb DShe ran off when she was 16?
DDown a long country road?
GWith nowhere to go?
Bb DShe knew that she had to leave
DShe hopped a one-way train?
GWith a ticket to ride?
Bb DIn the third class back with the others?
DShe watched the farm fade away?
GJust hoping and praying?
Bb DShe’d have a better life than her mother’s?
[Chorus]
D G D AIt’s a long long way from where we’ve been?
D G D A DThe here and now is better than it was back then
D GToday may break your heart?
D ABut tomorrow holds the key?
D G D A DWe’ve come so far but the best is yet to be?
[Interlude]
D...
[Verse]
DHe was born on the farm?
GBut he didn’t wanna stay?
Bb DHis daddy said he was a fool?
D GSo he crept away in the dead of night?
Bb DAnd got a steamer out of Liverpool...
D GIt’s far far away from the green fields at home
Bb DTo the wild Atlantic gray?...
D GHe was hoping for work and he prayed for the love?
?Bb DWaiting half a world away?
[Chorus]
D G D AIt’s a long long way from where we’ve been?
D G D A DThe here and now is better than it was back then
D GToday may break your heart?
D ABut tomorrow holds the key?
D G D A DWe’ve come so far but the best is yet to be? ?
[Bridge]
DShe was mopping the floor?
GHe was working the bar?
Bb DIt was a divine collision of the human heart?
D GIt was east of her and west of him?
Bb DThey were wishing on the same bright star?
Bb DAnd then the baby was a brand new start?
