[Ebm]
I am, I am [B] Philterra.
I was [Gb] born [Bbm] a poor [Ebm] farmer's son.
My father, he taught me how to [B] sow.
He told me that the [Gb] land [Bbm] could teach me how [Ebm] to grow.
If I could keep open [B] my heart,
I'd never [Gb] be apart [Bbm] from the ebb and flow of [Ebm] life.
And I, I still [B] hear the words of the one and only [Gb] verse,
He [Bbm] sang before he [Ebm] died.
Well, the [Gb] land on which we stand [Db] is the only thing [Ebm] we have that can [B] withstand [Gb] the weight [Db] of our lives.
[B] You've got to learn to [Gb] treat the land [Db] like you treat your [Ebm] own two hands on [B] a red string.
[Gb] They [Db] cherish the [Ebm] gifts he gives.
Now I never needed [B] his strength more.
When they knocked [Gb] on my door, [Bbm] they said it's [Ebm] time to go.
Well, those words, they struck deep into [B] my heart.
To lose the [Gb] family farm [Bbm] is to lose [Ebm] all I know.
My father's state and his [B] mother's before is what I [Gb] wish for my son, [Bbm] who lies [Ebm] yet unborn.
And all he could say is that I'm [B] sorry.
Leave now [Bbm] while you can.
[Ebm] Have been warned.
Well, the [B] land on which [Gb] we stand [Db] is the only thing [Eb] we have that can [B] withstand [Gb] the weight of [Db] our lives.
[B] You've got to learn to treat [Gb] the land like [Db] you treat your own two [Ebm] hands on a red [B] string.
They [Bbm] cherish the gifts it [Ebm] gives.
[B] [Gb]
[Db] [Ebm]
[B] [Gb] [Bbm]
[Ebm] Oh, you see, sir, seeds give [B] birth to be and what we grow into we [Gb] are.
[Bbm] It is sacred, it [Ebm] is sweet.
[Eb] And greed, greed is [B] the destroyer, takes vision from [Gb] our eyes.
[Bbm] And the land beneath [Ebm] our feet [B] and the land on which we [Gb] stand is [Db] the only thing we [Ebm] have that can [B] withstand [Gb] the weight [Db] of our lives.
[B] So learn to [Gb] treat the land [Db] like you treat your own [Eb] two hands on a [B] red string.
[Gb] They cherish [Bbm] the gifts [Ebm] it gives.
[B] And if it all [Gb] comes crashing [Db] down, I don't [B] have the strength [Gb] to save [Db] this town.
And [B] if we're all [Gb] just meant to blow [Db] away, please [Bbm] know that I tried my best [Ebm] to stay.
