[C]From the [G/B]mountains to the [Am]sun
[C]Life has [G/B]only just [Am]begun
[G]We wed this [Bm]land and pledged
Our [D]souls to meet it's [Esus]end

[C]Life has [G/B]only just [Am]begun
[C]Here my [G/B]people roam the [Am]earth
[C]In the k[G/B]ingdom of our [Am]birth
[G]Where the [Bm]dust of all our [D]horses hides the [Esus]sun
[C]We are m[G/B]ighty on the [Am]earth, on the [D]ea[sus4]rth[sus2][D]

[Dm]You have come to move me
[Bb]Take me from my ancient [Em]home
Land of my fathers [Bm]I can't leave you now
[C]We will share it with you
[D]No man [Bm]owns this earth we're [C]on

[Em] [Gm]
[Dm]Now the wheels are rolling
[Bb]Hear the howling winds of [Em]war
It's my destiny to [Bm]fight and die
[C]But is there no solution
[D]Can we [Bm]find no other [C]way, Lord, let me [Em]stay

Under the [D]endless [Dsus2]sky
And the [D]earth [Dsus2]below
[F#7]Here I was [Bm]born to [F#m]live
And I will [Dm]never [Am]go, oh [Bb]no [C]

But we [Dm]cannot end[C]ure
Like the [Dm]earth and the [G]mountains
Life is [Dm]not ours to [C]keep
For a [Dm]new sun is [G]rising

Gm | C | Gm | C |
Gm | C | Em | A |
Em | A | Em | A7 | Dm
into long instrumental section

[C]Soon these [G/B]days shall pass a[Am]way
[C]For our [G/B]freedom we must [Am]pay

[G]All our w[D]ords and deeds are carried on the [Esus]wind
[C]In the [G/B]ground our bodies [Am]lay, here we'll s[Bb]tay

Outro:
(hopefully this makes sense, 3 bars 4/4, 2 bars 3/4 and another
4/4 bar, then repeat. ending on Bb at the last repeat. The slash
chords are just following the bass line)
