Strawbs - The promised land

It was ^Amearly in the ^Dmmorning And our ^Gship was still at ^Amsea With a ^Flifetime far be^Dmhind us, we were ^Ffree^E7___ We had ^Amstrong hearts and a ^Dmfaith In our ^Ggood lord's guiding ^Amhand The ^Fmist before us ^Dmcleared, and we ^E7saw the promised ^Amland^G___^D__ ^{Am G D}

With our ^Ambrothers and our ^Dmsisters We soon ^Gforged into the ^Amland Building ^Ftowns and cities ^Dmfar beyond our ^Fdrea^E7ms__ As the ^Amtree which reaches ^Dmto the sky The ^Gchild who learns to ^Amstand So ^Fwe had men of ^Dmvision to cre^E7ate the promised ^Amland^G___^D__ ^{Am G D}

But the vision soon be^Amcame One man's ^Gview of wealth and ^Cfame And the ^Fgun became what ^Amwisdom used to ^Fbe ^E So the struggle had be^Amgun Which has ^Gnever yet been ^Cwon Hear the ^Fpeople, hear them ^E7saying, "Are we ^Ffre^Ge__^Am?"

So god ^Ambless you, my ^Dmpromised land Let ^Gnothing you dis^Ammay For the ^Fhand that guides our ^Dmfortunes has strange ^Fways^E7___ And ^Amwhen the fight is ^Dmover And the ^Gjudgment is at ^Amhand Please ^Fdon't forget your ^Dmbrothers, far be^E7yond the promised ^Amland^G___^D__ ^{Am G D}
