Mary Black – The Holy Ground (Guitar)

                  D        G   C
I was born on the holy ground

          G        D         G
A running child in fields of clover

                    D        G   C
I was living in the grandeur of

                   D  G
My father's land

                   D        G    C
By the side of the swirling sea

            G       D        G
I spent the days of childish wonder

                    D        G      C
And rocks I held in my young hands

                              D  G
I never felt them slip away

                    D       G       C
Well, the sun shone bright upon the waves

        G         D       G
And the wind blew high as I was leaving

                D    G    C
And I sailed so far away

                        D  G
Looking for adventure

                D              G    C
But I would not stay where the city streets

              G      D       G
Proclaimed so loudly man's endeavours

                  D      G      C
Though music is a pretty thing

                  D  G
In fine company

              D         G          C
And the wilderness took my breath away

        G        D     G
Under a sun that never falters

                D       G          C
I felt I had to find my way where

                   D  G
No one ever goes

              D             G        C
It was in the south that my new home lay

                 G       D    G
With a dark-eyed boy and wild horses

                       D     G         C
With humming birds and roses there in

             D  G
Old Mexico

                                D       G   C
There the winds of change, they blew so far

        G      D   G
Of liberty and revolution

                        D            G       C
It seemed that each man heard in his breast

                           D  G
The drumming of a nation

                  D        G   C
I was born on the holy ground

          G        D         G
A running child in fields of clover

                    D        G   C
I was living in the grandeur of

                   D  G
My father's land
