Barbara Dickson - The Shipyard Apprentice
[INTRO:] C
[VERSE 1:]
G C G
I was born in the shadow of a Fairfield crane
Dm F C
And the blast of a freighter's horn
G F C
Was the very first sound that reached my ears
Dm F G
On the morning I was born
Dm
As I lay and I listened to the shipyard sounds
F G C
Coming out of the unknown
G F C
I was lulled to sleep by a mother tongue
Dm F G
That was to be my own
[VERSE 2:]
C G
Before I grew to one year old
Dm F C
I heard the sirens scream
G F C
As a city watched in the blacked-out night
Dm F G
A wandering searchlight beam
Dm
And then one day I awoke and rose
F G C
To my first day of peace
G F C
And I learned that the battle to stay alive
Dm F G
Was never going to cease
[VERSE 3:]
C G
And I sat in the school from nine to four
Dm F C
And I dreamed of the world outside
G F C
Where the riveters and the platers watch
Dm F G
Their ships slip to the Clyde
Dm
Where the girls are placing stone on stone
F G C
And can watch his Labourer's Row
G F C
My time will come to walk with them
Dm F G
In the land I love to know
[VERSE 4:]
C G
And then one day when they set me free
Dm F C
I'll be walking like a man
G F C
Wi' my purses weighted in my boots
Dm F G
In the shadow o'er the clan
Dm
And the oil and the grease will stain my skin
F G C
Forever on my hands
G F C
A living sign that I've been set free
Dm F G
That I've become a man
