 | Am                        | %
In this proud land we grew up strong

      | C               | %
We were wanted all along

    | G                        | %
I was taught to fight, taught to win.

      | Am            | %
I never thought I could fail.


| Am                   | %
  No fight left or so it seems,

               | C
I am a man whose dreams have all deserted

              | G
I've changed my face, I've changed my name

But no one wants you when you lose

C   x32010
G   320003


| Am
  Though I saw it all around

                 | C
Never thought that I could be affected

           | G
Thought that we'd be last to go

       | Am
It is so strange the way things turn


| Am
  Drove the night toward my home

                   | C
The place that I was born on the lakeside

          | G
As daylight broke, I saw the earth

            | Am
The trees had burned down to the ground

        | G                 | C
Rest your head, you worry too much

It's going to be all right

For every job, so many men, so many men no one needs
