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. 
E                    A   E              A 
Show me the one lost in the stars, 
E                  A             E       A 
show me the principled man.

Bleeding and hushed, hung between theives,  
E                     A         E       A 
there the foundation began. 
E                 A    E               A 
Are you the one taking your cross? 
E              A             E          A 
Are you a principled man?
