verse 1
    A minorAm      DmDm
It was early in the morning
    G+G         A minorAm
And our ship was still at sea
    FF       DmDm        FF  E7E7
With a lifetime far behind us, we were free___
    A minorAm         DmDm
We had strong hearts and a faith
    G+G          A minorAm
In our good lord's guiding hand
  FF       DmDm       E7E7        A minorAm G+G D MajorD   A minorAm G+G D MajorD
The mist before us cleared, and we saw the promised land_____

verse 2
     A minorAm        DmDm
With our brothers and our sisters
    G+G        A minorAm
We soon forged into the land
     FF        DmDm       FF  E7E7
Building towns and cities far beyond our dreams__
    A minorAm         DmDm
As the tree which reaches to the sky
  G+G          A minorAm
The child who learns to stand
  FF       DmDm      E7E7        A minorAm G+G D MajorD   A minorAm G+G D MajorD
So we had men of vision to create the promised land_____


Bridge
           A minorAm
But the vision soon became
     G+G         C majorC
One man's view of wealth and fame
    FF        A minorAm       FF  E MajorE
And the gun became what wisdom used to be
           A minorAm
So the struggle had begun
     G+G       C majorC
Which has never yet been won
     FF         E7E7       FF G+G A minorAm
Hear the people, hear them saying, "Are we free__?"


verse 3
    A minorAm      DmDm
So god bless you, my promised land
  G+G       A minorAm
Let nothing you dismay
    FF          DmDm          FF  E7E7
For the hand that guides our fortunes has strange ways___
  A minorAm        DmDm
And when the fight is over
    G+G       A minorAm
And the judgment is at hand
    FF         DmDm       E7E7        A minorAm G+G D MajorD  A minorAm G+G D MajorD
Please don't forget your brothers, far beyond the promised land_____
