[Verse]
                      Cm            
In this proud land we grew up strong
Eb                      
We were wanted all along
Bb                                 
I was taught to fight taught to win
  Cm                        
I never thought I could fail
                    Cm      
No fight left or so it seems
           Eb                            
I am a man whose dreams have all deserted
     Bb                                  
I've changed my face I've changed my name

But no one wants you when you lose ■
