May not be exact, but this is how I play it. I'm cribbing from videos I've seen of performances by the Brothers Four. Capo 2nd fret. For the intro, strum the chords, then arpeggiate -- listen to the song to hear how specifically to do it. The strumming pattern for the rest of the song is very easy: two down strokes for each chord. There appears to be some palm muting as well. Intro: Am Dm Am E Verse: Am Dm Am E Once there were green fields kissed by the sun Am Dm Am E Once there were valleys where rivers used to run Chorus: F G C A7* Once there were blue skies with white clouds high above Dm7 G7 C E Once they were part of an everlasting love Am Dm Am E F Am Dm E We were the lovers who strolled through green fields Green fields are gone now, parched by the sun Gone from the valleys where rivers used to run [ Tab from: http://www.guitaretab.com/b/brothers-four/280614.html ] Gone with the cold wind that swept into my heart Gone with the lovers who let their dreams depart Where are the green fields that we used to roam Bridge: F C I'll never know what made you run away F C How can I keep searching when dark clouds hide the day Am Dm I only know there's nothing here for me Am Dm F E Nothing in this wide world, left for me to see Verse: Still I'll keep on waiting until you return I'll keep on waiting until the day you learn Chorus: You can't be happy while your heart's on the roam You can't be happy until you bring it home Home to the green fields and me once again Coda: strum, then arpeggiate Am-Dm-Am-E pattern, then end with an Am, barred at the 5th fret.
