I kept the (E minor) faith and (G major) I kept (D major) voting
Not (A major) for the (B minor) iron fist but (G major) for the helping hand
(A major) For theirs is a (E minor) land with a (G major) wall (D major) around it
And (A major) mine is a faith (B minor) in my (G major) fel (D major) low man
Theirs is a (B minor) land of (G major) hope an (D major) d glory
(A major) Mine is the green field
and the (E minor) factory floor (A major)
(D major) Theirs are the skies (E minor) all (G major) dark

Call up the (E minor) craftsmen
(G major) Bring me the (E minor) drafts (D major) men
Build (A major) me a path (B minor) from (G major) cradle to grave

(A major) Go find the (B minor) young men
(G major) never to fight (D major) again

(G major) Heart of this na (D major) tion
(A major) Deser (D major) t us (B minor) not, we are
