Intro
G
[VERSE 1:]
D G D
I was born in the shadow of a Fairfield crane
Am C G
And the blast of a freighter's horn
D C G
Was the very first sound that reached my ears
Am C D
On the morning I was born
Am
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
Am C D
That was to be my own
[VERSE 2:]
G D
Before I grew to one year old
Am C G
I heard the sirens scream
D C G
As a city watched in the blacked-out night
Am C D
E wandering searchlight beam
Am
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
Am C D
Was never going to cease
[VERSE 3:]
G D
And I sat in the school from nine to four
Am C G
And I dreamed of the world outside
D C G
Where the riveters and the platers watch
Am C D
Their ships slip to the Clyde
Am
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
Am C D
In the land I love to know
[VERSE 4:]
G D
And then one day when they set me free
Am C G
I'll be walking like a man
D C G
Wi' my purses weighted in my boots
Am C D
In the shadow o'er the clan
Am
And the oil and the grease will stain my skin
C D G
Forever on my hands
D C G
E living sign that I've been set free
Am C D
That I've become a man
