Land Of Green Chords by The Coalminers Beat

A 
i was sitting in a station bar,  
 C            G       A 
somewhere in amerika  
 A       C               G 
when an old man came to me  
 A        
he said: "can i sit next to you?",  
    C              G          A 
and i had nothing else to do                   C                  G 
so he sat down and drank his beer  


    A  
he told me 'bout the rocks and hills,  
 C               G             A 
about the autum and its chill  
 A         C               G 
about the valleys and the rain  
 A     
and then he spoke of former times,  
 C                  G            A 
about his children and his wife  
 A    C               G 
and about what yet remained  


 F           G 
suddenly he said: "my son,  
 F                E 
do you know the land,  
 E      E    E    E 
where i've come from  
 E   E   E 
and he asked  


 A               G 
do you know the land of green,  
 E             F 
its rough and stormy sea  
 A               G            E  FG  
do you know the island of the rain  
 A               G 
do you know the land of green,  
 E            F 
its wondrous scenery  
 A               G            E  FG 
do you know the island of the rain  



 A         
many of us had left their homes,  
 C               G              A 
never felt the westwind blow again  
    C                G 
he said with lonely eyes  
      A       
they once had worked upon the land,  
      C              G 
that now is in some stranger's  
        A 
hands     
    C               G 
he said with angry eyes  


 F                  G 
the more he spoke, the more he drank  
 F 
the more he kept  
     E       E    E    E   E   E 
on telling 'bout his land and he  
 E 
said  


 A               G 
do you know the land of green,  
 E             F 
its rough and stormy sea  
 A               G            E  FG

       A           
even though the bar was full of noise,  
     C             G              A 
the man began to lower his voice  
          C             G 
and stood up without a word  
 A 
although it is five years ago i  
 C 
swear  
         G           A 
that i exactly know   
       C                G 
every word that we had said  


   F                  G 
I still can see his trembling hands,  
 F              E      E    E    E 
as he told the story 'bout his land 
 E   E  E 
and he said  



 A               G 
do you know the land of green,  
 E             F 
its rough and stormy sea  
 A               G            E  FG
