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