THE LAND WE LOVE 4/4 (Capo on 1st fret)

 

Intro:

C-G-C-G

 

(C)In the mornin’ (F)of my (C)life

I have lived with (D)fear and (G)strife

(C)I have seen so (F)many (C)die

I have watched their (G)loved ones (C)cry.

 

Chorus:

But the (G)years have (G7)passed and (F)I’ve grown (C)old

The (G)songs are (G7)sung and the (F)stories (C)told

Of those dark days when (F)I was (C)young

Of those sad times in the (G7)land we (C)love.

 

I grew up to love our land

The games, the heroes and the songs

I had my dreams like most young men

That we could live in peace again.

 

Chorus

 

In the twilight of my life

I still live with fear and strife

And this new day I hope again

For peace and love throughout our land

 

For the years have passed and I’ve grown old

The songs are sung and the stories told

Of those dark days when I was young

Of those sad times in the land we love.
