[D] _ I was born on the holy ground, a running boy in fields of clover, _ _ living in the grandeur [Em] of my _ [G] father's land. _ _
_ [Am] _ _ _ [D] _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ By the side of the swirling sea, _ [G] I [D] spent the days of childish wonder, and the rocks I held in my [F#m] young hands, [Em] I never felt [G] them slip away.
[Am] Well, _ _ [D] _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
the sun shone [Em] bright [Bm] upon the [G] waves, and the [D] wind blew high [A] as I [D] was leaping, and I sailed so far away, _
[Em] looking [G] for _ adventure. _
_ [Am] _ _ [D] _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ But I would not stay where the city [G] streets [D] proclaim so loudly man's endeavour, _ though music is a pretty thing [Em] _ in [G] fine company.

_ _ _ _ _ _ _
By the wilderness took my breath away, [G] _
[D] under a sun [A] that never [D] faltered, _ a man has to find his [Bm] way [Em] _
where no [G] one ever goes.
[Am] _
_ _ _ [D] _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ It was in the south that my new [Bm] home lay, _ [G] a [D] dark-eyed girl [A] and [D] wild horses, _ put hummingbirds and roses there [Em] _ in _ [G]
old Mexico.

_ [A] _ _ _ _ [D] _ But the winds of change, they blew so [G] far, [D] of liberty and revolution, _ and it seemed that each man heard in his breast [Em] the drumming [G] of a _ nation.

It [D] _ _ _ _ [A] _ _
_ _ [D] _ was on the fields where the guns did play, _ [G] I [D] fell there with men as another, where the sagebrush [Em] grows and the [D] desert wind [Em] is blowing [G] _
free.
