[Verse 1]
C                  F
My name is Charlie Charlton
G                      C
I've lived here all my life
Am                 F  F               G
I panned in Number 7, I have a loving wife
C               F
Live out on the Border
F                   G
On the outskirts of town
Am                 F
I'm not sure we'll be here
F                   G
When tomorrow comes around


[Verse 2]
C                    F
My great-grandfather came here
F  G  C
In 1853
Am                  F
Worked the land and raised the crops
F              G
Fought for his liberty
C                     F
If he were here right now
G                      C
Just imagine what he'd see
Am                   F
I'm pretty sure he'd stop and say
F              G
These words to me


[Chorus 1]
D         G
Hey boys, hold on tight
A                 D
All that's wrong, now is right
Bm                    G           A
Stand your ground and take up the fight
D              G
All we have is all we did and
A                    D
Here we go round and round again
Bm          G                     A
Such is the world that we live in Ohhhh
A
That we live in.

[Verse 3]
C                   F
I never thought the day would come
G                    C
When I'd see America on the run
Am           F                    G
I'm not sure what they're running from
F                          G
And all that's lost in our schools
C                     Am
When the Godless ones attempt to rule
G           C
We can only wonder who's the fool
Am            G
His voice was sad


[Chorus 2]
D           G
Ooooh, boys hold on tight
A
We know everything's
A     D
Gonna be alright
Bm                 G        A
Now as you see the end's in sight
D                G               A                D
No darkness will hold us down no empty words will make a sound
Bm       G
We'll be together again
G                         A
Such is the world that we live in


[Chorus 3]
D           G
Oooooh boys hold on tight
A
We know everything's
A        D
gonna be alright
Bm                G        A
Now as we see the end's in sight'
D                G               A                D
No darkness will hold us down no empty words will make a sound
Bm       G
We'll be together again
G                         A
Such is the world that we live in
