The postman brought a letter for my darlin 
                                   G5 
I told him that she left here long ago 
   C5                                     C5 C5 C5 C5 
He wondered if I knew where she headed 
           G5  G5         C5 
I told him everything I  know 
C5 C5 C5 C5  C5 C5 C5 C5 C5  C5    C5   C5     G5  G5   G5  G5 
Greener    pastures  is where she can be found 
C5       F5           C5     C5 G5    G5  C5 
Greener pastures is where my baby was bound 
C5                                 C5  C5  C5  C5 
My calloused hands tell the story 
C5                                 G5  G5 
Of the hard life and times I have seen 
     C5                               C5 C5 C5 C5 
When all around had fields of plenty 
C5           G5                     C5 
The seeds I sowed always came up lean 
C5 C5 C5 C5  C5 C5 C5 C5 C5  C5    C5   C5     G5  G5   G5  G5 
Greener    pastures  is where she can be found 
C5       F5           C5     C5 G5    G5  C5 
Greener pastures is where my baby was bound 
 
SOLO 
 

C5 F5                                C5 
I promised her a life of  milk and honey 
  F5                           C5 
I promised her a never ending love 
  F5                           C5  
I promised her she'd never be unhappy 
   D5                                G5 
I guess sometimes a promise ain't enough 
C5 C5 C5 C5  C5 C5 C5 C5 C5  C5    C5   C5     G5  G5   G5  G5 
Greener    pastures  is where she can be found 
C5       F5           C5     C5 G5    G5  C5 
Greener pastures is where my baby was bound
