No Forgotten Man
             Solas
[CAPO ON 3RD FRET]

    G+G
From the woods of California to the banks of Ohio

       C majorC                  G+G
I've always worked each day God sent as best I'm able

     G+G
While both me and the crops they failed, those damn wolves came to my door

    C majorC               G+G
I just couldn't put no food upon the table

D MajorD                C majorC
Time to step up, boy, and be a man.

     G+G
So they stuck you 'neath a helmet and put a shovel in your hand

       C majorC                G+G
Sayin' it's time to step up, boy, your family needs ya'

   G+G
And though we struggled hard to save, they say our money turned no good

     C majorC                G+G
And that there's not gonna' be enough to feed ya'

D MajorD               C majorC
And they say it never happened 'cause they can.


     C majorC               G+G
So they rob us of our livin', kick us down with shiny shoes

   C majorC             G+G
God knows we've paid for our dreamin'

   C majorC                     G+G        E minorEm
And now they're trying to tell us that they'll own us 'till the end

 D MajorD                  C majorC
Someone better pray that luck means justice

           G+G     G//// G//// G////
'Cause I'll be no forgotten man.

     G+G
So they stuck me 'neath a helmet, put a gun into my hand

    C majorC                  G+G
Saying time to step up, boy, your country needs ya'.

   G+G
They rounded us like slaughter, they shipped us all to hell

    C majorC                  G+G
Sayin' what doesn't kill you boy is gonna' free ya'.

 D MajorD               C majorC ////  C////  C////
Pretend it didn't happen if you can.


   C majorC               G+G
But I did my share of killin' and I took my share of war

 C majorC           G+G
God knows I bled for my leader

  C majorC                G+G      E minorEm
And now you're trying to tell me my enemy's my friend

    D MajorD                C majorC
They'll only pray as long as there is freedom

         G+G
But I'll be no forgotten man.


[INSTRUMENTAL BREAK]

   G+G
These days I wheel the city, where the streets don't know my name

     C majorC                   G+G
They'll say time to move on boy 'cause no one needs you.

     G+G
In the shot glass there's no mercy, in your bottle only blame

      C majorC                  G+G
Though you shout the deeds you done no one believes ya'


 D MajorD                C////  C////
Come, man, spare a nickel if you can


    C majorC             G+G
Cause all I've got's a story, no kin to call my own

    C majorC            G+G
No photographs to pin upon a feelin'

   C majorC                    G+G        E minorEm
But what you're trying to tell me makes the truth too hard to bend

   D MajorD                  C majorC
And maybe there's just too much made of freedom

          G+G
Then I'll be no forgotten man.


    D MajorD                  C majorC
'Cause one man's chains become another's freedom

          G+G
So I'll be no forgotten man.


    D MajorD                  C majorC
'Cause one man's chains becomes another's freedom

          G+G      G////  G////  G////
