Verse 1:
   D MajorD      G+G            D MajorD
I was born in this land and I run among the barley
                 G+G
I remember those times like yesterday
    D MajorD       G+G                 D MajorD
I knew nothing of me father, just the tales told by me mother
                 G+G
As we slept by the horses in the hay


Chorus 1:
    E minorEm       B minorBm       D MajorD       G+G
In the southland she'd say they'd take rest in their goose beds
  D MajorD              G+G
And lull away on the cold winter nights
     E minorEm       B minorBm     D MajorD     G+G
But don't believe in nor even like a borderless heathen
     D MajorD         C majorC   G+G
Like your daddy who took the wrong way home

Interlude 1:
D MajorD   B minorBm   G+G  D MajorD  E minorEm  B minorBm  G+G  D MajorD


Verse 2:
     D MajorD      G+G                 D MajorD
With the wind at our backs we took our leave after the harvest
                   G+G
Thirteen men and their charges rode away
  D MajorD         G+G                D MajorD
We forged through the rains, hit like hammers upon the anvil
                G+G
But returned only few upon the day


Chorus 2:
    E minorEm      B minorBm      D MajorD       G+G
In the southlands we paid with our fair share of blood
     D MajorD             G+G
Upon our saddles and a lifetime of tears
   E minorEm       B minorBm       D MajorD     G+G
I was thieving, I was reaving like a borderless heathen
    D MajorD         C majorC   G+G
Like my daddy, I took the wrong way home


Interlude 2:
D MajorD   B minorBm   G+G  D MajorD  E minorEm  B minorBm  G+G
