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