3Vineland, New Jersey, farm land stretching
                   G7
4Far as the eye can see
Em8                       A9
5Not much down there, but sun-scorched pastures in
D10              G11
6Nineteen-fifty-three
D12
7The war is over, they came searching
               G13
8For a place to be
Em14                            A15
9They left the Rhineland, they lost their homeland, and
D16             G17
10All their family

12[Chorus]
A18                    G19
13Like feathers on the ocean breeze
          Bm20           A21                   D22
14They went spinning and tumbling 'cross the sea
Em23                       G24         A25
15Never known where they'd come down
              D26
16Or who they'd be
A27                    G28
17Like heather on the hillside
          Bm29                    A30               D31
18They were bruised and they were battered by the breeze

25Sun burn summers and frostbite winter
                  G43
26Kids were plainly dressed
Em44                       A45
27Left the farmhouse when he was old enough, and
D46            G47
28Headed out west
D48
29From California to Southern Africa
                   G49
30And all the way to France
Em50                   A51
31And on to England to meet my mother in

Em59                      G60       A61
37Never known where he'd come down
            D62
38Or who he'd be
A63                   G64
39Like heather on the hillside
       Bm65                 A66               D67

45Oh, and like a seed
        A#73
46That is flying in the wind
             D74       A75        Bm76
47In search of water, soil, and sun
        Em77            E78
48And the birds and the bees
               A79    Asus480   A81

Em84                           A85                    D86
