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