The Promised Land

[Verse 1]
       Am           Dm
It was early in the morning
        G                 Am
And our ship was still at sea
       F              Dm          
With a lifetime far behind us, we 
     F   E7
were free___
       Am                  Dm
We had strong hearts and a faith
       G                   Am
In our good lord's guiding hand
    F              Dm              
The mist before us cleared, and we 
E7               Am  G  D     
saw the promised land_____
Am  G  D



[Verse 2]
         Am               Dm
With our brothers and our sisters

        G               Am
We soon forged into the land
         F                Dm      
Building towns and cities far 
       F   E7
beyond our dreams__
       Am                 Dm
As the tree which reaches to the sky
    G                   Am
The child who learns to stand
   F             Dm           E7 
So we had men of vision to create
              Am  G  D     Am  G  D
 the promised land_____


[Bridge]
                      Am
But the vision soon became
          G                  C
One man's view of wealth and fame
        F               Am        
And the gun became what wisdom 
     F   E
used to be
                      Am
So the struggle had begun
          G              C
Which has never yet been won
         F                 E7     
Hear the people, hear them saying,
         F  G  Am
 "Are we free__?"


[Verse 3]
       Am            Dm
So god bless you, my promised land
    G              Am
Let nothing you dismay
        F                   
For the hand that guides our 
 Dm                   F   E7
fortunes has strange ways___
    Am                Dm
And when the fight is over
        G              Am
And the judgment is at hand
       F                 Dm       
Please don't forget your brothers,
       E7                Am  G  
 far beyond the promised 
D    Am  G  D
land_____
