[Verse 1]
[D]Born in the plains
[G]A f[A]armer’s[Bm] sons and[A]
[D]brothers the same
[A]Raised on [Bm]prom[A]ises[Bm][F#]
[A]we’d stay tha[G]t way[A]
As [D]boys we believed [G]sum
[A]mers [Bm]at th[A]e se[D]a
We were free to [G]be come
[A]men[Bm] of g[A]oo[Bm]d will[F#]
[A]Side by [G]sid[A]e
And we were [G]children [A]the[Bm]n
[D]Footprints in the [A]sand[G]
And where the [A]ocean [Bm]bends
We [D]made our prom[A]ises

Our [D]bodies in the [A]sand[G]
And like that sand [A]through [Bm]our hands
[D]Go our [A]grandest [G]plans
And just to see your face for [A]one moment
[Bm]I’d [A]cross the ocean agai[Em]n

And through the [G]cloud [A]of [Bm]death
We [D]find our way [A]back [Bm]home[G]
And though I hold [A]your [Bm]hand

And when you see the face
of [A]our [Bm]Maker

[D]He [G]knows [A]the [G]promises
[A]we [Bm]made[G]
