Verse: 
     D         C             G        D  
The sun beats down on this thirsting land 
 F          G     D 
Burning my will away 
      D      C             G        D 
It's many a mile from the eastern shore 
         F      G         D 
And the hope I felt that day 
     D          C            G       D 
We crossed the sea from the old country 
         F       G       D 
To the promised land we came 
             D      C          G         D  
And then we headed west on a thankless quest 
         F        G          D 
To the place we staked our claim
