Land Of Green

	Am	C	Em	Am
I was	sitting in a station bar	somewhere in A	merica,

	C	G
When an	old man came to	me.

	Am	C	Em	Am
He	said "Can I sit next to you?", and	I had nothing	else to do

	C	G
So he sat	down and drank his	beer. ' hey!

Bridge 1: Am-Am-Am-Am C-C-Em-Em 2x

	Am	C	Em	Am
He	told me 'bout the rocks and hills, a	bout the autumn	and its chill

	C	G
About the	valleys and the	rain.

	Am	C	Em	Am
And	then he spoke of former times, a	bout his children	and his wife

	C	G
And a	bout what yet re	mained.

Am	G
Suddenly he	said: "My son,

Am	G
Do you know the	land, where I've come from?", and he asked

Chorus:

Am	G	Em	F
Do you know the	land of green	, its rough and	stormy sea,

Am	G	Em	F
Do you know the	island of the	rain?

Am	G	Em	F
Do you know the	land of green	, it's wonderous	scenery,

Am	G	Em	F
Do you know the	island of the	rain?

Bridge 1: Am-Am-Am-Am C-C-Em-Em 2x

Am	C	Em	Am
Many of us had left their homes,	never felt the	westwind blow a	gain,

	C	G
He	said with lonely	eyes.

	Am	C	Em	Am
They	once had worked upon the land, that	now is in some	strangers hands

	C	G
He	said with angry e	yes.

	Am	G
The	more he spoke, the	more he drank,

	Am	G
The	more he kept on	telling 'bout his land, and he said.

Chorus
Bridge 2: Am-Am-Am-Em Am-Am-C-Am

	Am	C	Em	Am
Even	though the bar was full of noise, the	man began to	lower his voice.

	C	G
He	stood up without a	word.

	Am	C	Em	Am
Al	though it is five years ago I	swear that I e	xactly know

	C	G
Every	word that he had	said

	Am	G	Am	G
I	still can see his	trembling hands,	As he told the	story 'bout his land

Chorus twice
