In Peterborough County there's a village in a valley
C            G           F          C
Me, I have a farm at the top of the hill
        F              C                G                  F     G F
You can have your city streets and your backyards and your alleys
C                G                  F      C
Me, I have these green fields and I always will


      G              C                G              C
And I married out of high school to a girl I knew forever
       G            C                F
And we settled in together and three children came
        G                 C              G              C
And the life that we were living, was forgive and be forgiven
    G              F                            C
But whenever I saw sunshine, she could only see rain


        F               C                    G             F       G F
Left me standing in the cornfields, with the dry land all around me
      C           G                F       C
And I felt myself sinking like the setting sun
        F                C      G             F       G F
And the sky was like the ocean, pouring down around me
  C             G               F     C
I used to be so proud and I was all undone

     F                C             G             F        G F
So I kept on working my land, and I held on with both hands
      C                   G              F    C
And I watched the seasons turning in the sky above
      F                C             G                F     G F
And I worked beside my father and we bent our backs together
      C                G             F      C
And I wondered would I ever find someone to love


         G              C             G                   C
But when I was good and ready, when I stood up strong and steady
G                  C              F
Love came with the letters in the morning mail
      G               C                G            C
And I knew that I had found her when I put my arms around her
       G                  F                         C
When I see her now in the morning, how that sunrise pales


          F               C                    G             F       G F
Leaves me standing in the cornfields, with the dry land all around me
      C           G               F       C
And I feel myself rising like the morning sun
        F               C      G                 F      G F
And the sky is like the ocean, wide and blue and rolling
      C               G                    F    C
And I know that in my own heart, she's the only one


   F            C                G            F     G F
In Peterborough County there's a village in a valley
C            G           F          C

        F              C                G                  F     G F
You can have your city streets and your backyards and your alleys
C                G                  F      C
Me, I have these green fields and I always will
