[Verse 1]
[C]When [Dm]I fir[C]st[G][C]
came [F]to this [C]land,
[Dm]I was not a [C]weal[G]thy man.[C]
Then I built my[F]self a [C]shack,
[F]I d[Dm]id wh[G]at I c[C]ould.
And I [F]called my [C]shack, break [G]my [C]back.
For the land was [F]sweet and [C]good,
[Dm]I did wh[G]at I cou[C]ld.
When I first come [F]to this [C]land,
[Dm]I was not a [C]weal[G]thy man.[C]
Then I bought [F]myself a [C]cow,
[Dm]I did wh[G]at I cou[C]ld.
And I [F]call my [C]cow, [G]no milk now[C].
And I call my shack, [G]break my [C]back.
For the land was [F]sweet and good,
[Dm]I did wh[G]at I cou[C]ld.
When I first come [F]to this [C]land,

For the lamb was [F]sweet and [C]good,
[Dm]I did wh[G]at I cou[C]ld.
When I first come [F]to this [C]land,
[Dm]I was no[C]t a [G]wealthy man.[C]
Then I got [F]myself a [C]horse,
[F]I d[Dm]id wh[G]y go[C]od.
And I [F]call my [C]horse, lame of course.
And I [F]call my [C]duck, [G]al -al -alot
[C]And I cal[F]l my cow[C], no [G]milk now[C]
And I [F]call my [C]shack, [G]break my [C]back
For the land was [F]sweet and [C]good,

When I first come [F]to this [C]land,
[Dm]I was no[C]t a we[G]althy man,
[C]but I got mys[F]elf a wif[C]e,
[Dm]I did wh[G]at I cou[C]ld,
and I [F]call my [C]wife the [G]joy of my [C]life.

[C]And I tol[F]d my son[C], my [G]work's don[C]e
For the land was [F]sweet and [C]good,
