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