The Wide, Wide Land

Intro: A 

       A 
She's walking through her hometown 
Where she used to live 
A long, long time ago 
She's walking day by day 
And seems to know exactly 
Where she wants to go 

      D 
She looks across the country 
                         A 
As if it's under her command 
         D 
There's nothing to remember 
                       A 
There's nothing to pretend 

E  D                   A 
Uuuhh, The wide, wide land 
E  D                   A 
Uuuhh, The wide, wide land 

Her words come in a language 
That keeps changing 
As the days are going by 
But it doesn't really matter 
'Cause she's talking 
With a twinkle in her eye 

      D 
She doesn't seem to worry 
                            A 
That no one else can understand 
      D 
And when you see her laughing 
                            A 
You get to know her as a friend 

E  D                   A 
Uuuhh, The wide, wide land 
E  D                   A 
Uuuhh, The wide, wide land 

She's losing all her memories 
Of faces that she used 
To know so well 
But still remembers 
All the melodies 
Of good old songs 
Whose names she cannot tell 

        D 
She's singing with her eyes closed 
                             A 
And you can almost hear the band 
    D 
If you could see her smiling 
                              A 
I think you'd know what she meant 

When she said 


E  D                   A 
Uuuhh, The wide, wide land 
E  D                   A 
Uuuhh, The wide, wide land 
D      E          A 
  The wide, wide land 
Dm     E          A 
  The wide, wide land
