[C#m]
I am, I am Phil [A] Terra.
I [E] was born [G#m] [C#m] a farmer's son.
My father taught me how [A] to sow, told
me that [E] the land [G#m] could teach me how [C#m] to grow.
If I could keep open [A] my heart, I'd [E] never be
apart [G#m] from the [C#m] others, oh well then.
I've asked a few [A] words, the one and [E] only verse
he [G#m] sang before [C#m] he died.
The land [A] which [E] we stand [G#m] is the [C#m] only thing we have that can [A] mistake
[E] the weight of [B] our love.
[A] So learn to treat [E] the land like [B] a creature on [C#m] two hands, honor
[A] its [G#m] cherished gifts [C#m] and love.
And I never needed his [A] strength more than when he [E] knocked
upon my door and said it's time [C#m] to go.
Those words struck [A] deep in my heart, the truth of
[E] family ties [G#] to me is all [C#m] I know.
My father's fate and his [A] mother's support is what I [E] wish
for my son [G#m] who I still [C#m] care for.
All he could say, all he could [A] say is I'm sorry, [E] leave now
while you [G#m] can, you have [C#m] that right.
[A] The land which [E] we stand [B] is the only [A] thing we have that
can mistake [E] the weight [B] of our love.
[A] So learn to [E] treat the land [B] like a creature on [C#m] two hands,
honor [A] its [G#m] cherished gifts [C#m] and love.

down, well I don't [G#] have the [E] strength to see [C#m] this time.
