[INTRO]

D G Em A D G 

[VERSE 1]
D
Vineland, New Jersey, farm land stretching
                G
Far as the eye can see
Em                        A
Not much down there, but sun-scorched pastures in
D               G
Nineteen-fifty-three

D
The war is over, they came searching
                G
For a place to be
Em                         A                       D
They left the Rhineland, they lost their homeland, and
D            G
All their family

[CHORUS]
A                      G
Like feathers on the ocean breeze
          Bm             A                 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               D
They were bruised and they were battered by the breeze
Em                G A
Searching for a place
         D
To be free

 D G Em A D G
 
[VERSE 2]
D
Sun burn summers and frost by winter
D                      G
Kids were plainly dressed
Em                       A
Left the farmhouse when he was old enough, and
D            G
Headed out west

D
From California to Southern Africa
D                     G
And all the way to France
Em                      A
And on to England to meet my mother in
D               G
Nineteen-eighty-one

[CHORUS]
A                  G
A feather on the ocean breeze
          Bm             A                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

A                     G
Like heather on the hillside
           Bm                A             D
He was bruised and he was battered by the breeze
Em                 G A
Searching for a place
        D
To be free
 
[BRIDGE]
         G
Oh, and like a seed
         Gm
That is flying in the wind
              D      Dmaj7     Bm
In search of water, soil, and sun
 Em                    E7
And the birds and the bees
                D A D
To have it all along
 
[OUTRO]
D
Now here I am, thirty-three years down
D                G
Two-thousand-seventeen
Em                             A
I've seen the Rhineland, I've been to Vineland, I'm
D                     G
A feather on the breeze
