Intro:
D|G|Em|A|D|G
[Verse 1]
(D)Vineland, New Jersey, farm land stretching
(G)Far as the eye can see
(Em)Not much down there, but (A)sun-(F#m)scorched (A)pastures in(D)
(G)Nineteen-fifty-(D)three
(D)The war is over, they came searching
For a place to be
(Em)They left the (A)Rhineland, they lost their (D)homeland, and
(F#m)All their family(G)
[Chorus]
(A)Like feathers on the ocean(G) breeze
They went (Bm)spinning and tumbling ‘(A)cross the(D) sea
(Em)(G)Never known where they’d come down
Or (A)who they’d(D)be
(A)Like heather on the (G)hillside
They were (Bm)bruised and they were (A)battered by the (D)breeze
(Em)(G)Searching for a place
To be (A)free(D)
[Verse 2]
Sun burn summers and frost by winter
Kids were plainly dressed
Left the farmhouse when he was old enough, and
Headed out west
From California to Southern Africa
And all the way to France
And on to England to meet my mother in
Nineteen-eighty-one
[Chorus]
(A)Like feathers on the ocean(G) breeze
They went (Bm)spinning and tumbling ‘(A)cross the(D) sea
(Em)(G)Never known where they’d come down
Or (A)who they’d(D)be
(A)Like heather on the (G)hillside
They were (Bm)bruised and they were (A)battered by the (D)breeze
(Em)(G)Searching for a place
To be (A)free(D)
[Bridge]
Oh, and like a seed
That is flying in the wind
In search of water, soil, and sun
And the birds and the bees
To have it all along
[Verse 3]
Now here I am, thirty-three years down
Two-thousand-seventeen
I’ve seen the Rhineland, I’ve been to Vineland, I’m
A feather on the breeze
