Vineland, New Jersey, farm land stretching
                   G   G D/F#
Far as the eye can see
Em7                      A   Asus4
Not much down there, but sun-scorched pastures in
D              G
Nineteen-fifty-three
D
The war is over, they came searching
               G  D/F#
For a place to be
Em7                            A Asus4
They left the Rhineland, they lost their homeland, and
D             G
All their family

A                    G
Like feathers on the ocean breeze
          Bm           A/C#                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/C#            D
They were bruised and they were battered by the breeze
Em7             G  A
Searching for a place

Sun burn summers and frostbite winter
                  G       G D/F#
Kids were plainly dressed
Em7                     A  Asus4
Left the farmhouse when he was old enough, and
D            G
Headed out west
D
From California to Southern Africa
                   G      G D/F#
And all the way to France
Em7                   A
And on to England to meet my mother in
D               G   G D/F#
Nineteen-eighty-one

A                 G
A feather on the ocean breeze
        Bm           A/C#                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

Like heather on the hillside
       Bm                 A/C#            D
He was bruised and he was battered by the breeze

        G
Oh, and like a seed
        Gm
That is flying in the wind
             D       A        Bm
In search of water, soil, and sun
        Em7            E9
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
Em7                           A    Asus4           D
I've seen the Rhineland, I've been to Vineland, I'm
                 G
A feather on the breeze
