Get Down

Am

[Verse]
Am
He was young and he was proud
       C             D
He was strong and unafraid
       Am                 C    
And he walked alone where others 
            Em     G
feared to tread
            Am
And all the treasures of the land
         C                D
He could hold them in his hand
          Am            C        
And where others always followed 
G          Am
he would lead

[Verse]
Am
But when the others came to lead
          C            D
They were driven on by greed
         Am              C        
And they forced him to believe his
         Em     G
 way was wrong
       Am
In his simple way he tried
        C             D
But his spirit slowly died
       Am             C       G  
And he knew his weary journey had
    Am
 begun

[Chorus]
              D
And he had to get down
Am
Get down on the ground
          F
He had to get down
    E    N.C.          Am
And leave his pride behind

[Verse]
Am
And he had to come to terms

         C                D
With the things he had to learn
        Am          C             
And his innocence destroyed itself
      Em    G
 with age
        Am
When he stopped to turn around
             C             D
The path was nowhere to be found
           Am            C      G
And he was guided like a puppet 
      Am
on a stage

[Verse]
Am
And the proud and noble savage
         C             D
Took his turn at being scared
          Am              C    
Whereas before he never knew the 
           Em    G
taste of fear
          Am
He had to grovel in the sand
    C            D
And hold an open hand
       Am               C     
For he knew within, the end was 
  G       Am
drawing near

[Chorus]
              D
And he had to get down
Am
Get down on the ground
          F
He had to get down
    E    N.C.          Am
And leave his pride behind

[Instrumental]
Am    C  D  Am  C  Em  G  Am
Am    C  D  Am  C G Am

[Verse]
Am
And he cried aloud with pain
       C                  D
For to walk in the light again
       Am               C      
And he begs for someone close to 
          Em   G
lend an ear
         Am
And he's turned the other cheek
    C                 D
But now he's much too weak
    Am              C      G     
And no one stops to listen though
      Am
 they hear

[Verse]
Am
And now an age has passed away
    C              D
And we are left to pay
        Am       C               
For the wrongs inflicted on this 
Em   G
man
           Am
And if the burden weighs us down
              C              D
We'll have to kneel upon the ground
    Am          C        G        
And pray for forgiveness from this
 Am
 man

[Chorus]
                 D
'Cause he had to get down
Am
Get down on the ground
          F
He had to get down
    E                 Am
And leave his pride behind

[Chorus]
                D
Oh, we'd better get down
Am
Get down on the ground
            F
We'd better get down
    E                 Am
And leave our pride behind
