[Intro 1]
[D][A][E][F#m][D]

[Verse 1]
[A]In my life on [E]earth
[F#m]The things I have inven
[D]ted have invented me
[F#m]I found my in dus[Bsus2]try[Bm]
[A]I am not a[E]lone
I [F#m]fashion friends from pre[D]cious scraps
They hold the light they
[E]bend to serve me
[F#m]Joking that they [C#]don't deserve me
[D]After days of [E]craft and care
I [D]lift a sword and [E]slice the air
[D]Such has been my [E]time upon
[A]this [E]earth... this [F#m]earth[D]
[A]Then my wife re[E]turns
More [F#m]beautiful then when [D]she
left the night before
[F#m]I show her things[Bm] I made[Bsus2]
[Bm]The filigree

[Verse 2]
[A]of fer[E]ns, dia[F#m]monds,
snowflakes, [D]tears of gold
She murmurs praise,
a [E]small caress; I [F#m]smile to see her [C#]happiness
[D]Silver webs with [E]sand engrained
That [D]catch and hold real [E]drops of rain
[D]Such has been my [E]toil upon [A]this
[E]earth... this [F#m]earth[D]
When I'm feeling [G]vexed I go upstair
[D]s and bury som[F#m]ething deep
[G]Then stand back and [Bm]push a button,
[G]from a distance [F#]watch the [F#m]earth [G]ex [Bm]plode
[Em]This[A] earth[D][A][Bm][G]
I love this land of [A]mortal men
They [Bm]wake to know the fire
[F#m]again
[G]The things we make, the [A]things we feel,
[G]Ar mored plates and [A]molten steel
[G]All of these inven[A]tions of the
[D]earth.the earth... [A]this ear[Bm]th.
[G]
