Field Notes Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[A]We were hea[D]ding on home,
[Em]Diesel and me
Down an old [G]gravel [D]road,
way [A]out in the [Bm]country
Tuckered out after [A]working
the fields all [Em]day
[D]When all[G] of a sudden, off[A] like a shot
[D]That dog took off running,
[Bm]barking his head off
[G]Wherever he went,
[Em]he went like there was hell to pay
[A]

[Verse 2]
So [D]lickety-split,
I I [Em]crashed through the fields
Chasing [G]after that [Em]hound and
I was [A]hot on his heels
When we [Bm]both went over the
[A]edge of a deep rav[Em]ine
[D]As I [G]crawled up the bank,
cold and [A]soaked to the [D]bone
A glint caught my eye from
the [Bm]mud where it shone
[A]Som[G]ething was bur[Em]ied there,
alongside the stream
[A]

[Verse 3]
Now [D]the middle of a field is
a [A]pretty odd place
To find [Bm]some kind of trunk
or [G]a chest or a crate
[C]But buried under the ear[G]th,
I saw a corner ex[A]posed[Bm][A]
No, there [D]wasn't a map or [A]a note or a key
It was [D]clearly [G]forgotten, just [Bm]waiting [A]for me
Like I was sup[Em]posed to find it [G]there,

[Interlude 1]
right under my nose
[Asus4][A][D][G]
[C][Bsus4][B]

[Verse 4]
It had [B]laid there [E]for years, [F#m]deep in the dirt
So I [A]dug it out and [E]wiped
my hands on [B]my shirt
I [C#m]pried up the lid and ex
[E]citedly [B]peered insid[F#m]e
[E]And [A]what I saw was a sight
[B]to beh[Em]old
'Cause that [E]tattered old trunk
was [C#m]crammed full of gold
[B]My eye[F#m]s bugged out,
it was enough to [E]make a grown [A]man [B]cry

[Verse 5]
[E]Big golden bricks with [Bsus4]a shimmery [B]sheen
They were a stag[C#m]gering sight
[E]to a p[A]oor boy like me
And [D]right then and there I [A]knew what
I had [Bsus4]to do[B][A][B]
So [E]with a smile, I sold what [B]little I had
I gave my [E]pots and [A]my pans
to [C#m]my mo m and my dad
[B]And then I bou[F#m]ght that field 'cause it [A]was my dream
[B]come true

[Verse 6]
And [Gb]then, full of joy,
I said good[Abm]bye to my shack
It wasn't [Cb]much of a home,
[Db]so I never looked back
And [D#m]I never ques[B]tioned the
[C#]choice I happily [G#m]made[D#m][G#m]
[F#]I said I [B]need that field,
[C#]whatever it takes
[F#]You might call it foolish, but [D#m]I'd call it faith
[C#]Trus[G#m]ting in God so gladl[F#]y,
you can't hardly [B]wait[C#]

[Verse 7]
And [F#]that's how I learned
how a [C#]rich fella counts
His [D#m]treasure in heaven,
[F#]not unde[B]r the grou[F#]nd
'Cause betting the farm
is [C#]well worth the risk
To [F#]carefully [B]keep such a [D#m]beauti[C#]ful gift
That's [G#m]yours [E]forever,
[G#m]it's a[B] pretty good deal
[C#]

[Verse 8]
[B][C#]
[F#]There's a couple of things
more pre[C#]cious than gold
One is [B]your heart and the
[D#m]other's [C#]your soul
[G#m]And you've got something unique
[B]that nobody can steal
[C#]

[Verse 9]
It's a fable, [F#]you see,
and the mor[C#]al is this
Your heart's [F#]with your [B]treasure,
wherever it [C#]is
And trust [G#m]me, when you di[B]g,
a treasure [Bb]will be re[D#m]vealed[C#]
And you [G#m]never know what could be [B]buried in [F#]the middle of a field
