C                                            C C7 C C7 
The postman brought a letter for my darlin 
                                   G7 
I told him that she left here long ago 
   C                                     C C7 C C7 
He wondered if I knew where she headed 
           G  G7         C 
I told him everything I  know 
C C7 C C7  C C7 C C7 C  C7    C   C7     G  G7   G  G7 
Greener    pastures  is where she can be found 
C       F           C     C7 G    G7  C 
Greener pastures is where my baby was bound 
C                                 C  C7  C  C7 
My calloused hands tell the story 
C                                 G  G7 
Of the hard life and times I have seen 
     C                               C C7 C C7 
When all around had fields of plenty 
C           G                     C 
The seeds I sowed always came up lean 
C C7 C C7  C C7 C C7 C  C7    C   C7     G  G7   G  G7 
Greener    pastures  is where she can be found 
C       F           C     C7 G    G7  C 
Greener pastures is where my baby was bound 
 
SOLO 
 
C F                                C 
I promised her a life of  milk and honey 
  F                           C 
I promised her a never ending love 
  F                           C  
I promised her she'd never be unhappy 
   D7                                G 
I guess sometimes a promise ain't enough 
C C7 C C7  C C7 C C7 C  C7    C   C7     G  G7   G  G7 
Greener    pastures  is where she can be found 
C       F           C     C7 G    G7  C 
Greener pastures is where my baby was bound
