And the sound I remember when I was young 
       C                         D           G 
Was an old man talking 'bout the things he'd done 
        Em                         C         G 
And the battles he fought and the war he won

Long time__ ago

Just thinking about them good old days

The power that lies in these two hands 
        Em                        C             G 
Oh, the passion that burns in the heart of a man

Who holds no fear 


verse 4: 
        G                      D        G 
And the fools who agree it's a merry-go-round 
     C                           D        G 
Just give us the tools and we'll turn it 'round 
       Em                      C           G 
We can lean up straight from a hole in the ground

C                 D        G 
Ships of steel on gossamer wings 
  Em                 C            G 
A line of freedom, a line of kings 
                    D     C
