        G                     D     G
And the sound I remember when I was young

       C                         D           G
Was an old man talking 'bout the things he'd done

        Em                         C         G
And the battles he fought and the war he won

Just thinking about all them good old days

        Em                     C        G
You can take his past, you can take his place

You can't kill what an old man knows

We'll try to imagine or understand

    C                  D         G
The power that lies in these two hands

Oh, the passion that burns in the heart of a man

Who holds no fear
[Verse 4]
        G                      D        G
And the fools who agree it's a merry-go-round

     C                           D        G
Just give us the tools and we'll turn it 'round

       Em                      C           G
We can lean up straight from a hole in the ground

And we knew how to make it (when the chips were down)

Ships of steel or diamond rings

A line of freedom, or a line of kings

Is this the way the many fall?
