1ST VERSE:

C           G               Em
  From the mountains to the sun
C          G           Em
  Life has only just begun
G              Bm                    D               Asus2
  We wed this land and pledged our souls to meet its end
C          G           Em
  Life has only just begun


2ND VERSE:

C          G               Em
  Here my people roam the earth
C         G              Em
  In the kingdom of our birth
G            Bm               D              Asus2
  Where the dust of all our horses hides the sun
C         G             Em           Dsus4   Dsus2  D
  We are mighty on the earth, on the earth


BRIDGE:

Dm                          Bb                         Em
  You have come to move me,   take me from my ancient home
                     Bm
  Land of my fathers I can't leave you now
C
  We will share it with you
D         Bm                   C         Em    Gm
  No man owns this earth we're on


Dm                            Bb                          Em
  Now the wheels are rolling,   hear the howling winds of war
                      Bm
  It's my destiny to fight and die
C
  But is there no solution
D         Bm            C
  Can we find no other way
                Em
  Lord, let me stay


             D       G             D     G
  Under the endless sky, and the earth below
   F#         Bm     F#m
  Here I was born to live
             Dm    Am     Bb    C
  And I will never go, oh no


         Dm        C             Dm            G
  But we cannot endure like the earth and the mountains
          Dm           C          Dm          G
  Life is not ours to keep, for a new sun is rising


BREAK:   (Extended instrumental)

From where strummed acoustic guitar re-enters:

C         C   G     Em
1 2 3 4 | 1 2 3 4 | 1 2 3 4

3RD VERSE:

C             G               Em
  Soon these days shall pass away
C          G              Em
  For our freedom we must pay
G          Bm                  D             Asus2
  All our words and deeds are carried on the wind
C          G               Em
  In the ground our bodies lay
              Eb
  Here we'll stay
