[A]
[G] [Am]
[Em] [A] I've [A] always been a farmer [G] and [F] my [G] heart's bound to [Am] the land.
The earth's [Em] deep roots [C] are in me blood, [D] she answers to [E] my hand.
[Am] I grow the best [F] cabbages [C] you'll ever hope [E] to see.

[F] [G] [Am]
they came [C] so [G] wondrous bright, [F] so quite [G]
beyond [Am] compare.
With [C] starshine in their eyes and [D] silver roses in [E] their hair.
[Am] Wrapped with an [F] aching beauty, [C] sweet and bitter, [E] crystal light.
[Am] A beauty that [C] you fear [G] to see [F] but [F#] fear to [Am] lose the sight.
[D]
[F] [G] [Am]
I saw them at [C] their [G] dancing [F] leaping air [G] and silver [Am] flame.
And conscious, all [C] too conscious of [D] my clumsy [E] mortal frame.
[Am] I watched them [F] laughing, light, [C] light-footed, [E] full of grace.
[C] With my [Am] legs of wood [C] and [G] feet of lead [F] stood rooted [G]
in [Am] me place.
