Greenfields Chords

   
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: https://www.guitartabs.cc/tabs/b/brothers_four/greenfields_crd_ver_2.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. Play this:
