Intro
C#
[VERSE 1:]
G# C# G#
I was born in the shadow of a Fairfield crane
D#m F# C#
And the blast of a freighter's horn
G# F# C#
Was the very first sound that reached my ears
D#m F# G#
On the morning I was born
D#m
As I lay and I listened to the shipyard sounds
F# G# C#
Coming out of the unknown
G# F# C#
I was lulled to sleep by a mother tongue
D#m F# G#
That was to be my own
[VERSE 2:]
C# G#
Before I grew to one year old
D#m F# C#
I heard the sirens scream
G# F# C#
As a city watched in the blacked-out night
D#m F# G#
A# wandering searchlight beam
D#m
And then one day I awoke and rose
F# G# C#
To my first day of peace
G# F# C#
And I learned that the battle to stay alive
D#m F# G#
Was never going to cease
[VERSE 3:]
C# G#
And I sat in the school from nine to four
D#m F# C#
And I dreamed of the world outside
G# F# C#
Where the riveters and the platers watch
D#m F# G#
Their ships slip to the Clyde
D#m
Where the girls are placing stone on stone
F# G# C#
And can watch his Labourer's Row
G# F# C#
My time will come to walk with them
D#m F# G#
In the land I love to know
[VERSE 4:]
C# G#
And then one day when they set me free
D#m F# C#
I'll be walking like a man
G# F# C#
Wi' my purses weighted in my boots
D#m F# G#
In the shadow o'er the clan
D#m
And the oil and the grease will stain my skin
F# G# C#
Forever on my hands
G# F# C#
A# living sign that I've been set free
D#m F# G#
That I've become a man
