Land Of My Fathers

Paul Robeson


Tom: F

F                              Bb
Dear land of my fathers, whose glories were told
F                            C
By bard and by minstrel who loved thee of old;
F                                    Bb
Dear country whose sires, that their sons might be free
     F             C           F
Have suffered and perished for thee!

[Chorus]
F                              C
Wales! Wales! Land of mist and wild
F
Where'er I roam
       Bb
Though far from my home
F              C           F
The mother is calling her child

[Verse 2]
F                           Bb
The Lord of great Snowdon in brave days of yore
F                              C
for thee fought for freedom by Mona's green shore
      F                    Bb
their courage undaunted inspires all our lays
     F           C              F
our harps here resound to their praise

[Chorus]
F                              C
Wales! Wales! Land of mist and wild
F
Where'er I roam
       Bb
Though far from my home
F              C           F
The mother is calling her child

F                              C
Wales! Wales! Land of mist and wild
F
Where'er I roam
       Bb
Though far from my home
F              C           F
The mother is calling her child
