The Mission
Grapes of Wrath from the album Carved in Sand (1990)


Verse 1:
G CThe sweat upon his brow and the dirt worked into his hands
G C The dignity of labour upon a man's own land
G DThe soil of his fathers passed on down through blood to hand
Am C D G A man's right of birth to reap the harvest from his land
Verse 2:
CThe breaking of his back to keep his dream alive
G CTo work the change of season his instinct to survive
G DThe planting of his seed and to see his harvest grow
Am C D GGives a pride to a man to reap the harvest that he sows
Chorus:
Em The land of the free, home of the brave
C G D CThe heartland of pioneers, the heritage of flesh and blood
Em And along come the winds that blow through the land
C G D With a price to pay for the working man, money talks and changes hands
C D GAnd money reaps the harvest money demands, the grapes of wrath
Verse 3:
CThey can take away his freedom, they can beat him into the dust
G CThey can burn his home, run him from his land, and leave him out to gather rust
G DBut they can't take away his faith and his honesty and pride and the
Am C D Gknowledge that he holds inside One day they'll reap the harvest, the grapes of wrath
Verse 4: There's hope in a man that nothing can destroy A man will endure anything for the dream that he holds dear And there's pride in the earth he toils for His honesty for the air he breathes The truth of the harvest they will reap Ending:
G D G The grapes of wrath, the grapes of wrath,
D C B A G the grapes of wrath
