Tom: D
D G D
I was born in this land and I run among the barley
G
I remember those times like yesterday
D G D
I knew nothing of me father, just the tales told by me mother
G
As we slept by the horses in the hay
[Chorus 1]
Em Bm D G
In the Southlands she'd say they take rest in their goose beds
D G
And loll away on the cold winter nights
Em Bm D G
But don't be leaving nor reaving like a borderless heathen
D C G
Like your daddy who took the wrong way home
[Interlude 1]
D Bm G D Em Bm G D
[Verse 2]
D G D
With the wind at our backs we took our leave after the harvest
G
Thirteen men and their charges rode away
D G D
We forged through the rains, hit like hammers upon the anvil
G
But returned only few upon the day
[Chorus 2]
Em Bm D G
In the Southlands we paid with our fair share of blood
D G
Upon our saddles and a lifetime of tears
Em Bm D G
I was thieving, I was reaving like a borderless heathen
D C G
Like my daddy, I took the wrong way home
[Interlude 2]
D Bm G D Em Bm G

A F#m
Ghost and kin come to me at every hour
D A
Somewhere out there in the mist
Bm F#m D
Lay a child who never will run among the barley (run among the barley)
A F#m
Ghost and kin come to me at every hour
D A
Somewhere out there in the mist
Bm F#m D
Lay a child who never will run among the barley (run among the barley)
A F#m
Ghost and kin come to me at every hour every day
D A
And they won't let me forget
Bm F#m D
About a child who never will run among the barley (run among the barley)
F#m D
Run among the barley (run among the barley)
F#m D A
Run among the barley, run among the barley
