And the sound I remember when I was young
         G	 	      D      G
was an old man talking about the things he'd done
        C			   D	      G
and the battles he'd fought and the war he'd won
         Em		  	     C        G
long time ago.

2.)
Well see him looking back now with that smile on his face
      G		                         D	      G
just thinking about all them good old days
       C		      D	       G
you can't take his past, you can't take his place

you can't kill what an old man knows.

Well try to imagine or understand

the power that lies in these two hands

    	Em			    C	      G
who holds no fear.

And the fools who think it's a merry-go-round

give us some tools and we'll turn it round

we've been diggen up dirt, from our golden ground

for a thousand years.

And we can make it, we can make it, ain't no reason why.

And he knew how to make it  (when the chips were down)

knew how to take it (when the ships went down)

knew how to turn it all around - yes he did.

6.)
I try to imagine what the future brings
   G	   		   D	  G
ships of steel and diamond rings

a land of freedom or a land of kings
   Em		       	C	G
is this the way that might be fall.
	     G	      D		C

Well there might be a heaven there might be a hell

I can see his face, 'cos I know it so well

I still hear what the old man calls.
