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