(G major) (E minor) (A minor) (Dsus4) (G major) (E minor)
(A minor) (Dsus4)
Verse 1
Man rolls (G major)
out of bed and he knots his tie (E minor)
(G major) Gulps his coffee as he says
goodbye (E minor)
(A minor) Drags his car down a one -way street
Got (Dsus4) appointments to keep
It's the way (G major) of the land (E minor) (A minor) (Dsus4)
He works (G major) in a room with
the windows closed (E minor)
He (G major) got no time for the open road (E minor)
(A minor) Punches out at a quarter to five
(Dsus4) Feels a little bit more alive
It's the way (G major) of the land
He (F major) used (Fsus2) to dream of Robin Hood
He used to make his plans
To (F major) race (G major) through Sherwood Forest
With a longbow in his hand
An (F major) d Fri (Fsus2) ar Tuck and Marion
Would call him hero then
He'd (G major) rob the rich (E minor) an d help the poor
(Dsus4) To understand
(A minor) (Dsus4) Man to man
It was the way of the land (G major) (E minor)
(A minor) (Dsus4) (G major) (E minor) (A minor) (Dsus4)
A woman (G major) wakes up and she
makes the bed (E minor)
Got (G major) a thousand troubles
running through her head (E minor)
(A minor) Drags her body through another day
For (Dsus4) a little under minimum wage
It's the way (G major) of the land (E minor) (A minor) (Dsus4)
Got an (G major) old job but she works full time (E minor)
Get (G major) the kids on the bus in the
Washington line (E minor)
And (A minor) the rushin' and the plantin'
in the grocery shop
(Dsus4) Hav in' dinner ready seven o 'clock
is the way (G major) of the land
Well she used (Fsus2) to dream of Tinkerville
She dreamt of Peter Pan
(G major) Scouting distant islands
Finding treasures in the sand
She'd paddle (Fsus2) Captain Hook
until he'd lost his other hand
An (G major) d clap so hard
(E minor) that every child (G major) would live (A minor) again
To ride (Dsus4) the wind, it's the way of the land (G major) (E minor)
(A minor) (Dsus4) (F major) (C major) (G major) (F major) (Fsus2)
(C major) (Dsus4)
(D major) I (G major) dreamed a dream just the other night
(E minor) My (G major) momma walked and
my daddy cried (E minor)
And (A minor) their eyes were bright
as shooting stars
An (Dsus4) d they held each other hard,
you (G major) understand
They (F major) used (Fsus2) to dream of traveling,
(Csus4) they used (Fsus2) to make those plans
Fred (G major) Astaire and Ginger
in the ballrooms of romance
But time (Fsus2) is hard on heroes,
they never had the chance
I (G major) dreamed a dream the other night
and knew somehow
(A minor) That (Dsus4) they're dancing now
Cause this'll be (G major) the land (E minor) (A minor)
(Dsus4) This'll be the land (G major) (E minor) (A minor) (Dsus4)
You
