Field Notes Chords by Owl City

[Intro]

        C                Em
We were heading on home, deasil in me
        G                   
Down an old gravel road way 
A
out in the country
Bm                   A            
  Tuckered out after working the 
           Em7  D
fields all-day
     G                A
When all of a sudden, off like a shot
     D                     
That dog took off running, 
Bm                  D
barkin' his head off
    G             Em            
Wherever he went, he went like 
                  G
there was heck to pay
 
 
[Verse]

   D                Em
So lickedy-split, I crashed 

through the fields
       G                    
Chasin after that hound and 
      A
I was hot on his heels
        Bm                 
When we both went over the 
A                Em7    D
edge of a deep ravine
     G                        
As I crawled up the bank cold 
    A
and soaked to the bone
  D                            
A glint caught my eye from the 
Bm
mud where it shown
G                    Em    
Something was buried there
               A
 alongside the stream
        D                      
Now the middle of a field is a 
A
pretty odd place to find
Bm                    G
Some kind of trunk or chest or a crate
C                     G       
 But buried under the earth, 
                 A     Bm  A
I saw a corner exposed 
          C                 
No, there wasn't a map or a 
G
note or a key
       D          G           Bm          A
It was clearly forgotten just waiting for me
             Em                G      
Like I was supposed to find it there 
               A
right under my nose

[Verse]

       E                     
It had laid there for years, 
F#m
deep in the dirt
   A                     
So I dug it out and wiped 
   B
my hands on my shirt
  C#m                    B                F#m
I pried up the lid and excitedly peered inside
    A                D
And what I saw was a sight to behold
            E                      
'Cause that tattered old trunk was 
C#m
crammed full of gold
   F#m                      E        
My eyes bugged out, it was enough to 
              A   B
make a grown man cry
E                        B
Big golden bricks with a shimmery sheen
            C#m                  
They were a staggering sight to a
 A
 poor boy like me
    D                       A         
And right then and there, I knew what 
          B  A  B
I had to do
          E                  B
So with a smile, I sold what little I had
          E           A       
I gave my pots and my pans to 
   C#m        B
my mom and my dad
           F#m
And then I bought that field
       A                  B    E A E B
'Cause it was my dream come true
 
 
[Instrumental]

E A D
C#m C#
 
 
[Verse]

    F#                
And then full of joy, 
       G#m
I said goodbye to my shack
          B                 
It wasn't much of a home so 
  C#
I never looked back
    D#m                    C#      
And I never questioned the choice 
          G#m
I happily made
          B                   C#
I said "I need that field whatever it takes"
    F#                        
You might call it foolish but  
  D#m          C#
I call it faith
G#m                F#       
Trusting in God so gladly, 
               B   C#
you can hardly wait
    F#                         
And that's how I learned how a 
  C#
rich fella accounts
     D#m                
It's treasure in heaven, 
    B
not under the ground
       F#                  
'Cause betting the farm is 
C#
well worth the risk
   F#        B           D#m       C#    
To carefully keep such a beautiful gift 
       G#m           B
that's yours forever
                   C#   B C#
It's a pretty good deal
          F#              
There's a couple of things
      C#
 more precious than gold
F#          B             D#m          C# G#m
One is your heart and the other's your soul
                             B         
And you've got something you need that 
           C#
nobody can steal
 
 
[Bridge]

       F#                     C#
It's a fable, you see and the moral is this
     F#                B         
Your heart's with your treasure, 
    D#m    C#
wherever it is
    G#m               B     
And trust me when you dig, 
                Bb7  D#m  C#
a treasure will be revealed   
        G#m                    
And you never know 
              B 
what could be buried in the 
F#          C#
middle of a field
