Strawbs - This Barren Land
CAPO: 7th Fret
[Intro]
C F C Dm (4x)
[Verse 1]
N.C. F G C
I took the children by the hand
F Em Dm F
Promised to show them all that we had planned
Am F G Am
It's sad but true, this moral maze
Em C G
Betrays the innocence of bygone days
[Chorus]
Dm G Dm
You can't hold back the march of time, I said
F G F
We can't hold back the march of time
G C
This blood stained desert road on which we stand
F Em Dm G C
Is testament to man, this barren land
[Interlude]
C F C F C F C
[Verse 2]
N.C. F G C F C
Our song of joy, the countryside
F Em Dm F
Radiant fields, forever glowed with pride
Am F G Am
That once were blessed as golden shires
Em C G
Now bear the sad remains of funeral pyres
[Chorus]
Dm G Dm
We can't hold back the march of time, I said
F G F C Dm
You can't hold back the march of time
G C
This wicked wilderness in which we stand
F Em Dm G C
Is testament to man, this barren land
[Lead Break]
[Chorus]
Am D Am
We can't hold back the march of time, I said
C D C
You can't hold back the march of time
D G
This way of no return on which we stand
C Bm Am D G
Is testament to man, this barren land
[Verse 3]
N.C. C D G
On sullen shores we make our peace
C Bm Am C
We pray that the howling wind will someday cease
Em C D Em
The waves of power can never bend
Bm G D
They ever take their course until the end
[Chorus]
Am D Am
We can't hold back the march of time, I said
C D C G Am
You can't hold back the march of time
D G
This crumbling cliff-top path on which we stand
C Bm Am D G
Is testament to man, this barren land
C Bm Am D G
Is testament to man, this barren land
