Allan Taylor - Get down

^AmHe was young and he was proud He was ^Cstrong and una^Dfraid And he ^Amwalked alone where ^Cothers feared to ^Emtread ^G And all the ^Amtreasures of the land He could ^Chold them in his ^Dhand And where ^Amothers always ^Cfollowed ^Ghe would le^Amad

^AmBut when the others came to lead They were ^Cdriven on by ^Dgreed And they ^Amforced him to be^Clieve his way was ^Emwrong ^G In his ^Amsimple way he tried But his ^Cspirit slowly ^Ddied And he ^Amknew his weary ^Cjourney ^Ghad beg^Amun

And he had to ^Dget down ^AmGet down on the ground He had to ^Fget down And ^Eleave

N.C.

his pride beh^Amind

^AmAnd he had to come to terms With the ^Cthings he had to ^Dlearn And his ^Aminnocence de^Cstroyed itself with ^Emage ^G When he ^Amstopped to turn around The path was ^Cnowhere to be ^Dfound And he was ^Amguided like a ^Cpuppet ^Gon a st^Amage

^AmAnd the proud and noble savage Took his ^Cturn at being ^Dscared Whereas be^Amfore he never kn^Cew the taste of ^Emfear ^G He had to ^Amgrovel in the sand And ^Chold an open ^Dhand For he ^Amknew within, the ^Cend was ^Gdrawing ^Amnear

And he had to ^Dget down ^AmGet down on the ground He had to ^Fget down And ^Eleave

N.C.

his pride beh^Amind

^AmAnd he cried aloud with pain For to ^Cwalk in the light a^Dgain And he ^Ambegs for someone ^Cclose to lend an ^Emear ^G And he's ^Amturned the other cheek But ^Cnow he's much too ^Dweak And ^Amno one stops to ^Clisten ^Gthough they ^Amhear

^AmAnd now an age has passed away And ^Cwe are left to ^Dpay For the ^Amwrongs in^Cflicted on this ^Emman ^G And if the ^Amburden weighs us down We'll have to ^Ckneel upon the ^Dground And ^Ampray for for^Cgiveness ^Gfrom this ^Amman

'Cause he had to ^Dget down ^AmGet down on the ground He had to ^Fget down And ^Eleave his pride be^Amhind

Oh, we'd better ^Dget down ^AmGet down on the ground We'd better ^Fget down And ^Eleave our pride be^Amhind
