The Mission
Grapes of Wrath from the album Carved in Sand (1990)


Verse 1:
C majorC
The sweat upon his brow and the dirt worked into his hands
  C majorC
The dignity of labour upon a man's own land
  D MajorD
The soil of his fathers passed on down through blood to hand
 G+G
A augmentedA man's right of birth to reap the harvest  from his land

Verse 2:
              C majorC
The breaking of his back to keep his dream alive
  C majorC
To work the change of season his instinct to survive
  D MajorD
The planting of his seed and to see his harvest grow
    G+G
Gives a pride to a man to reap the harvest  that he sows

Chorus:
  E minorEm
    The land of the free, home of the brave
  C majorC
The heartland of pioneers, the heritage  of flesh and blood
  E minorEm
And along come the winds that blow through the land
    D MajorD
With a price to pay for the working man, money talks and changes hands
  G+G
And money reaps the harvest money demands, the grapes of wrath

Verse 3:
                     C majorC
They can take away his freedom, they can beat him into the dust
     C majorC
They can burn his home, run him from his land, and leave him out to gather rust
     D MajorD
But they can't take away his faith and his honesty and pride and the
G+G
knowledge that he holds inside	One day they'll reap the harvest, the grapes of wrath

Verse 4:
	There's hope in a man that nothing can destroy
	A augmentedA man will endure anything for the dream that he holds dear
	And there's pride in the earth he toils for
	His honesty for the air he breathes
	The truth of the harvest they will reap

Ending:
       G+G
The grapes of wrath,   the grapes of wrath,
G+G
