 Bm                     A           E
Restless is dawn as it wanders the farm house
  Bm                          A                 E
A new day awaits though he’s worked through the night
 Bm                     A               E
Patiently planting his thoughts on the pages
 Bm                  A        E    Esus  E
Under the mumble of kerosene light


Bm                       A       E
Off to the West you can feel it coming
  Bm                       A        E
A thick, steel vein for a river of power
 Bm                     A          E
Carelessly turning the earth into wasteland
    Bm                     A           E   Esus  E
As thousands of years disappear in an hour


 Bm  D          A                  E
   Hold your ground on the wrong side of the plough
 Bm           D             A                   E
   They’re closer now to a cold, black, broken line
 Bm  D          A                   E
   Hold your ground when they come to cut you down
 Bm           D               A                    E
   They’re closer now to the rock that breaks the tines


 Bm                         A           E
Can’t see what you do from back in the boardroom
 Bm                     A         E
Faceless equations of profit and cost
     Bm                   A           E
They wave you away like a fly on the radar
     Bm                          A              E     Esus  E
But keep coming back and you’ll throw them off course


 A             B       E         A
   Though it’s always been this way
            B         E         A
   Doesn’t mean that it’s your fate
            B       E
   But you know it takes the
      D                   A    D    A
   Strength of heart and mind
            D                 Asus       A        E   Esus  E
   And the faith someday the world will see your side
    Bm                     A             E
   Nothing is lost if you give yourself wholly
    Bm                       A         E
   Nothing is gained if you keep it inside
