Paul Klaver - Where The Windmills Roam

Intro 

G Dm F C G 


[Verso 1]


G                    Dm 
I was born where the land meets the sky 
        F                           C 
In this manmade country, where the seagulls fly 
G                   Dm 
Fields of green and skies so wide 
        F                    C          G 
With my boots in the mud and time by my side 


[Verso 2]


G             D 
Daddy was the butcher in town 
       F                  C 
While mama was the loving person around 
G                       D 
Windmills spinning like the hands of time 
     F                  C        G 
In a polder heart, this life was mine 


[Refrão]
 
          F                  C 
Where the windmills roam and the people shine 
           Em               Am 
Where the sun sets low on a view so fine 
      F                     C 
I'm a country soul from the Dutch flat land 
      Em                  Am 
With tulips growin' right outta the sand 
F                      C 
Give me my home, where the water ends 
        E7                    Am    F       C    G 
And the sky writes stories in my reclaimed laaaaand 


[Verso 3]


G                      Dm 
We fought the sea with shovels and dreams 
      F                C 
Built up the land from broken streams 
G                 Dm 
Wide horizons, it sure feels right 
           F            C             G 
Under that endless and starry night, allright

[Verso 4]


G                         D 
I walk the roads where my grandfather stood 
   F                  C 
In wooden shoes and a heart full of good 
G                     D 
No mountains high, no valleys low 
       F                    C            G 
But in this flat country my roots still grow 


[Refrão]

          F                  C 
Where the windmills roam and the people shine 
           Em               Am 
Where the sun sets low on a view so fine 
      F                     C 
I'm a country soul from the Dutch flat land 
      Em                  Am 
With tulips growin' right outta the sand 
F                      C 
Give me my home, where the water ends 
        E7                    Am    F       C    G 
And the sky writes stories in my reclaimed laaaaand 


[Verso 5]


G                 D 
So if you ask me, where I belong 
      F               C 
I'll say the polder, plain and strong 
          G                     D 
Where the wind still sings that country song 
        F                     C      G 
And the land we made is where I come from 
        F                     C      G 
And the land we made is where I come from 
        F                     C      G 
And the land we made is where I come from
