Vineland, New Jersey, farm land stretching
G
Far as the eye can see
Em A
Not much down there, but sun-scorched pastures in
D G
Nineteen-fifty-three
D
The war is over, they came searching
G
For a place to be
Em A
They left the Rhineland, they lost their homeland, and
D G
All their family
A G
Like feathers on the ocean breeze
Bm A D
They went spinning and tumbling 'cross the sea
Em G A
Never known where they'd come down
D
Or who they'd be
A G
Like heather on the hillside
Bm A D
They were bruised and they were battered by the breeze
Em G A
Searching for a place
D
To be free
D G Em A D G
D
Sun burn summers and frostbite winter
G
Kids were plainly dressed
Em A
Left the farmhouse when he was old enough, and
D G
Headed out west

From California to Southern Africa
G
And all the way to France
Em A
And on to England to meet my mother in
D G
Nineteen-eighty-one
A G
A feather on the ocean breeze
Bm A D
He went spinning and tumbling 'cross the sea
Em G A
Never known where he'd come down
D
Or who he'd be
A G
Like heather on the hillside
Bm A D
He was bruised and he was battered by the breeze
Em G A
Searching for a place
D
To be free
G
Oh, and like a seed
A#
That is flying in the wind
D A Bm
In search of water, soil, and sun
Em E
And the birds and the bees
A Asus4 A
To have it all along
D
Now here I am, thirty-three years down
G
Two-thousand-seventeen
Em A D
I've seen the Rhineland, I've been to Vineland, I'm
G
A feather on the breeze
