The dignity of labour upon a man's own land
    G5                   D5
The soil of his fathers passed on down through blood to hand
  A5                      C5                D5          G5   
A man's right of birth to reap the harvest   from his land

The breaking of his back to keep his dream alive
   G5                             C5
To work the change of season his instinct to survive
    G5                           D5
The planting of his seed and to see his harvest grow
        A5                C5                D5         G5

    E5 
And along come the winds that blow through the land
       C5                                 G5               D5

    C5                               D5                    G5
And money reaps the harvest money demands, the grapes of wrath

         G5                                 D5
But they can't take away his faith and his honesty and pride and the
A5                                              C5                D5               G5
knowledge 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:
              G5       D5                G5

D5                 C5       B5    A5    G5
    the grapes of wrath
