G                                                 C  
I stood the shore at Southampton,
  G                                                      D  
Salt wind in my hair, a case in my hand.
                                                                          G                 C  
We were going to western Aus-tralia.
        G                         D                         G            C  
It made me the man that I am, I am,
          G                         D                      G  
It made me the man that I am.
G                                                                                      C  
On the crossing they called us the orphans,
     G                                                              D  
They were the family that I never had,
                                                G                 C  
We said goodbye at Freemantle.
          G                                 D                      G            C  
And it made me the man that I am, I am,
        G                         D                      G  
It made me the man that I am.
Bm                                 Em      C    D    G                            Em              C              D  
Far away, so    far away,         sometimes I feel so far away,
                  G                      Em                      C                         D  
but the sun is up and it?s a good fine day,
D              G         Em                      C            D  
I've work to do I'll be on my way.
G                                                                                 C  
I don't like to talk about Fair-bridge.
G                                                                                                    D  
What happened there I still don't understand,
                                                                        G              C  
These days I sleep with the lights on.
        G                         D                      G              C  
It made me the man that I am, I am,
G                                 D                            G  
It made me the man that I am.
Bm                                 Em      C    D    G                            Em              C              D  
Far away, so    far away,         sometimes I feel so far away,
                  G                      Em                      C                         D  
but the sun is up and it?s a good fine day,
D              G         Em                      C            D  
I've work to do I'll be on my way.
G                                                              C  
I stand the shore at Southampton,
  G                                                                                                      D  
It took me forty eight years to be here again
                                                                                G                 C  
I wait for the tears but they won't come
        G                         D                      G            C  
It made me the man that I am, I am,
G                                 D                            G  
It made me the man that I am.
