E           A     E                 A

Under a flag, they swore a bond,

E                  A          E     A

caught under fire they ran.

E                A      E                  A

Are you the one, standing your ground?

E              A              E        A

Are you a principled man?

E             A       E           A

Followers fall, blinded by kings,

E             A            E       A

lost in the lie of the land.

E                A      E               A

Are you the one, sworn to be true?

E             A            E        A

Are you a principled man?

B                E              

Now begin, come along side it,

B                     E

seize the wind, come along ride it.

C                    G                       

One day it will be you believing

        A  B   D          B

there is a principled man.

B                         E       

Who goes there? do you belong lad?

B                     E

You know there is a new dawn.

       C                        G

and one day he'll say "Stick with me baby,

  A   B    D          B

I am a principled man."

E               A       E                A

Many's the man, grounded by greed,

E              A              E         A

leaning on power and land.

Show me the one lost in the stars,

And one day he'll say "Stick with me baby,

  A   B  D            B

I am a principled man......"

E                  A           E                  A

Bleeding and hushed, hung between theives,

E                     A         E       A

there the foundation began.
