Who Will Watch The Home Place (Laurie Lewis) Capo 4 G C D Am 
 

Please let me know if this need correcting. 
G                                 C   
Leaves are falling and turning to showers of gold 
G                                 D
As the postman climbs up our long hill 
G                                         C
And there's sympathy written all over his face 
Am          C                D
As he hands me a couple more bills 
 

   G 
   Who will watch the home place 
   C
   Who will tend my hearts dear space 
   G
   Who will fill my empty place 
   Am        D         G
   When I am gone from here 
 
There's a lovely green nook by a clear-running stream 
 
It was my place when I was quite small 
 
And it's creatures and sounds could soothe my worst pains 
 
But today they don't ease me at all 
 
In my grandfather's shed there are hundreds of tools 
 
I know them by feel and by name 
 
And like parts of my body they've patched this old place 
 
When I move them they won't be the same 
 
Now I wander around touching each blessed thing 
 
The chimney the tables the trees 
 
And my memories swirl 'round me like birds on the wing 
 
When I leave here oh who will I be
