Verse 1
Em 
C 
He
G 
D 
could measure the worth
C 
G 
of an acre of land
D 
C 
And say when the wind would blow
G 
D 
Reached down to the earth,
C 
G 
as it ran through his hands,
C 
D 
he'd tell you just what he could grow.
G 
D 
His family have stood
C 
G 
on these ridges and  drills,
C 
D 
seven generations or more.
G 
D 
Born to the fields,
C 
G 
the streams and  the sky,
D 
C 
G 
now he's a man of war.
C 
D 
Strong winds bring him back,
Am 
Em 
Am 
all the way.
Em 
C 
G 
When his father fell,
D 
C 
G 
the land was carved
D 
C 
G 
One piece for every son
There was barely enough
D 
C 
G 
for a family to feed
C 
D 
Hardly enough for one
G 
D 
So he went to the harbour,
C 
G 
stood on the quay,
C 
D 
saw the waves crash to the shore
G 
D 
C 
Turning the cries of a man of the land
G 
D 
C 
G 
into a man of war
C 
D 
Strong winds bring him back all
Am 
Em 
Am 
Em 
C 
the way
G 
D 
Now the ocean was cold,
C 
G 
tide running deep,
D 
C 
G 
he dreams he is home at last.
D 
Running handfuls of grain
C 
G 
through his fingers like sand,
C 
D 
before all the water is cast.
G 
D 
C 
But he falls down deep, goes driftin'
G 
C 
D 
To the dark of the ocean floor
G 
D 
When he sleeps and  he dreams,
C 
he's land's man again
G 
D 
C 
But he wakes as a man of war
G 
C 
D 
Strong winds bring him back all
Am 
Em 
Am 
Em 
C 
the way
G 
D 
When he sleeps and  he dreams,
C 
G 
he's a man's man again
D 
C 
G 
D 
But he wakes as a man of war you
