(Capo on 3)
(Intro.)
|(D) / / / |(Em) / / / |(D/F#) / / / |(G) / / / |
(Verse)
(D) Summer cotton, summer corn, summer (Em) hash marks and a scoreboard
(D/F#) Summer, where they fought the civil war, it's what my (G)grandpa said
(D)Picking up brown heads that we found, or (Em/D) picking up another first down
(D/F#)Taking them girls to the edge of town
And (G)watching the sky turn red on a blanket in a Chevy bed
(Chorus)
We grew (D)up on 'em, stirred up (Em)dust on 'em
We were (D/F#)tough on ‘em with our (G)cleats and our retread tires
We stayed out (D)late on ‘em, we went to (Em)state on 'em
Every (D/F#)blade of that sacred ground's got a thousand (G)stories
Fields of (D)glory, (Em) fields of (D/F#)glory (G)
(Verse)
(D) Shooting cans off a tree stump, (Em/D) cold beer buzzing with the June bugs
(D/F#)Setting 'round talking like we knew what, we were doing (G) for the rest of our lives
(Chorus)
We shine down (D)lights on ‘em, threw three (Em)stripes on 'em
Said our good-(D/F#)byes on ‘em, once Sep-(G)tember came around
We had it (D)made on ‘em, part of us (Em)stayed on 'em
Every (D/F#)blade of that sacred ground's got a thousand (G)stories
Fields of (D)glory, (Em) fields of (D/F#)glory (G)
(Verse)
(D)You drop by and see a barbed-wire fence, (Em/D)I see boys turning into men
(D/F#)I go back every now and then, and (G)walk around and think of how
(Chorus)
We grew (D)up on 'em, stirred up (Em)dust on 'em
We were (D/F#)tough on ‘em with our (G)cleats and our retread tires
We stayed out (D)late on ‘em, we went to (Em)state on 'em
Every (D/F#)blade of that sacred ground's got a thousand (G)stories
Fields of (D)glory, (Em) fields of (D/F#)glory (G)
(Outro)
Fields of (D)glory, (Em) they were our fields (D/F#) of glory (G)
