Intro:
A minorAm

Verse:

A minorAm
He was young and he was proud

    C majorC       D MajorD
He was strong and unafraid

    A minorAm         C majorC        E minorEm   G+G
And he walked alone where others feared to tread

      A minorAm
And all the treasures of the land

     C majorC        D MajorD
He could hold them in his hand

     A minorAm      C majorC    G+G     A minorAm
And where others always followed he would lead

Verse:

A minorAm
But when the others came to lead

     C majorC      D MajorD
They were driven on by greed

     A minorAm       C majorC         E minorEm   G+G
And they forced him to believe his way was wrong

    A minorAm
In his simple way he tried

    C majorC       D MajorD
But his spirit slowly died

    A minorAm       C majorC    G+G   A minorAm
And he knew his weary journey had begun

Chorus:

       D MajorD
And he had to get down

A minorAm
Get down on the ground

     FF
He had to get down

  E MajorE  N.C.     A minorAm
And leave his pride behind

Verse:

A minorAm
And he had to come to terms

     C majorC        D MajorD
With the things he had to learn

    A minorAm     C majorC          E minorEm  G+G
And his innocence destroyed itself with age

    A minorAm
When he stopped to turn around

       C majorC       D MajorD
The path was nowhere to be found

      A minorAm      C majorC   G+G   A minorAm
And he was guided like a puppet on a stage

Verse:

A minorAm
And the proud and noble savage

     C majorC       D MajorD
Took his turn at being scared

     A minorAm       C majorC        E minorEm  G+G
Whereas before he never knew the taste of fear

     A minorAm
He had to grovel in the sand

  C majorC      D MajorD
And hold an open hand

    A minorAm        C majorC    G+G    A minorAm
For he knew within, the end was drawing near

Chorus:

       D MajorD
And he had to get down

A minorAm
Get down on the ground

     FF
He had to get down

  E MajorE  N.C.     A minorAm
And leave his pride behind

Instrumental:
A minorAm  C majorC D MajorD A minorAm C majorC E minorEm G+G A minorAm
Am  C majorC D MajorD A minorAm C majorC G+G A minorAm

Verse:

A minorAm
And he cried aloud with pain

    C majorC         D MajorD
For to walk in the light again

    A minorAm        C majorC        E minorEm  G+G
And he begs for someone close to lend an ear

     A minorAm
And he's turned the other cheek

  C majorC         D MajorD
But now he's much too weak

  A minorAm       C majorC   G+G      A minorAm
And no one stops to listen though they hear

Verse:

A minorAm
And now an age has passed away

  C majorC       D MajorD
And we are left to pay

    A minorAm    C majorC        E minorEm  G+G
For the wrongs inflicted on this man

      A minorAm
And if the burden weighs us down

       C majorC       D MajorD
We'll have to kneel upon the ground

  A minorAm     C majorC    G+G     A minorAm
And pray for forgiveness from this man

Chorus:

         D MajorD
'Cause he had to get down

A minorAm
Get down on the ground

     FF
He had to get down

  E MajorE         A minorAm
And leave his pride behind

Chorus:

        D MajorD
Oh, we'd better get down

A minorAm
Get down on the ground

      FF
We'd better get down

  E MajorE         A minorAm
And leave our pride behind
