[Verse 1]
[A]Virgin land of forest green, [D]dark and [A]stormy plains, here all [D]life [A]abound[E]s
Sun[A]lit valley, mountain fields,
[D]unseen [A]in the rain, here all life abounds[E]
[C]No man rules [G]this land,

here all [D]life [A]abound[E]s
[C]No man rules this [G]land,
no hu[Am]man hand has soiled this [E]para[A]dise[E]
[C]Waiting patiently, [G]so much [Am]to see,
so rich in [E]Earth's [A]delights

[Verse 3]
[F]So the maiden lies in [C]wai[G]ting
[Gsus4]for the s[F]ails to reach the shore[G][C][F]
Land of beauty [G]and [Em]abuna[F]nce, innocent,[Gsus4]
you opened [F]wide [G]your door
[Dm]Wanderers found the waiting treas[G]ure,
[Dm]full of gifts beyond their meas[G]ure
[Dm]Milk and honey for our [G]pleas[F]ure[D]

[Verse 4]
[Gsus4]Across th[F]e sea there came a multitu[G]de,
[Gsus4]sailing s[F]hips upon the [G]wave[C]
Filled with [F]visions of [G]Utopia [F]and the
freedom that they [G]crave[Dm]
Ravage, plunder, see no won[G]der,
[Dm]rape and kill and tear asun[G]der
[Dm]Chop the forest, plow it [G]under[F]

[Verse 5]
[A]Highways scar the mountainsides,
buildings to [D]the [A]sky[E], p[A]eople all aroun[D]d[A][E]
[C]So we rule this [G]land,
and her we stand [Am]upon our [A]paradise
[E]Dre[C]aming of a p[G]lace, our weary race[Am] is ready to r[E]ise[A][E]
