Evergreen Billy Joe Shaver
Billy Joe Shaver
EVERGREEN
Verse 1:
[Dm] [D5] To[Dm] evergreen fields of my [C/G]youth i will sing
My [Bb]steps left no footprints be[A]hind
No [Dm]fruit of the harvest lent[C/G] weight to my pockets
Small [Bb]knowledge was stowed in my [A]mind
Now [F]youth has forsaken this[Dm] old man
My [F]seasons are numbered by t[Dm]hree
No [F]seeds have been sown in the p[Dm]lowed fields
No harvest is [C/G]waiting for[Dm] me
Verse 2:
[Dm]A cripple for life is the[C/G] fate of the loner
No f[Bb]ruit will be borne by his t[A]ree
These [Dm]foughts pierce my mind while in[C/G] echoes of memories
A y[Bb]oung voice too late calls to [A]me
Come [F]run through my dream fields,you[Dm] old man
S[F]earch beyond your window[Dm]sill
Go [F]touch my high moutains and va[Dm]lleys
Come sleep 'neath my[C/G] evergreen [Dm]fields
