From a Forest -

Oh Oh it’s been a long time, C#m A E B C#m

Been a long time working these fields,

Oh oh it’s been a long time,

It wasn’t easy, A It was real.

From a forest to a field to a farm to a factory, A E Through the generations it stayed in the family, A E All that time, C#m B E A Working side by side, G#

And I bet you never knew all the changes you’d live through, C#m B E A All the things your kids would see, G#

It’s been a cold and confusing World War Three.

C#M B E A The page wire and the t-bar that once held the sheep in, E A Used to draw the tree line now the wire is sinking deep in, C#m B E A the trunk of the tree, and the green grass

grows all around, (all around),

and the green grass grows all around (all around),

And how are you supposed to guess about stuff like lead and asbestos, C#m B E A Those high technologies, G#

Now we got hormone meat and engineered seed, cancer in our prime and kids with

diabetes, C#m B E A Ten new products every day and nine created needs, C#m B E A What are they gonna say killed my friends when I’m 83, C#m B E A Like you.

G#

Oh Oh it’s been a long time, C#m A E B C#m

Been a long time working these fields,

Oh Oh it’s been a long time,

It wasn’t easy.
