     D MajorD      Aadd2Aadd2    G+G    Dsus4Dsus4
He could measure the worth of an acre of land

  Aadd2Aadd2          D MajorD
And say when the wind would blow

D MajorD         Aadd2Aadd2    G+G        D MajorD
Reach down to the earth as it ran through his hand

   B minorBm      G+G       Aadd2Aadd2
He’d tell you just what he could grow

  D MajorD     Aadd2Aadd2     G+G     D MajorD
His family had stood on these ridges and hills

B minorBm     G+G     Aadd2Aadd2
Seven generations or more

Dsus4Dsus4    Aadd2/C#  Dsus4/B    G+G
Born to the fields, the streams & the sky

D MajorD     Aadd2Aadd2 D MajorD
Now he’s a man of war

G+G            Aadd2Aadd2    G+G D MajorD
Strong winds, bring him back, haul away


When his father fell the land was carved
One piece for every son
There was barely enough for a family to feed
Hardly enough for one
So he went to the harbour, stood on the quay
Saw the waves crash to the shire
Turning the cries of a man of the land
Into a man of war
