The New Frontier

 

Written by John Stewart


’The New Frontier’ is on “Trio Years”, Homecoming Records (86), re-released as CD by NEC (88) under the title “New Frontier” with seven additional songs from “Secret Tapes 86” (originally a Homecoming Records cassette) and by Folk Era (93) under the title “Chilly Winds” with seven songs from “Revenge of the Budgie” (83).  The Kingston Trio recorded the song in the early sixties.  This is a work of Art –
Art Faller transcribed this song.  I only changed some minor things.


Capo 2nd fret

Oh, (G)some to the (Em)rivers
And (Am)some (D7)to the (G)sea,
Some to the (Bm)soil
That our (A7)fathers made (D)free,
And then (F)on to the (Dm7)stars
And the (Em)heavens for to (C)see,
(F) This is the (F/E)New Fron(D)tier,
Oh,(F)this is the (Am)New Fron(D)tier.

(A)Let the word go (Em)forth
(D) From this day (C)on,
That a (G)new gene(Em)ration (C)has been (D)born.
(F)Born to the (Dm7)task
To (Em)keep us (C)free,
(F) Proud of the (F/A)rights (G) of the home coun(C)try.
(F) This is the (F/E)New Fron(D)tier
(F) This is the (Am)New Fron(D)tier

And it´s (G)some to the (Em)rivers
And (Am)some (D7)to the (G)sea,
Some to the (Bm)soil
That our (A7)fathers made (D)free.
And then (F)on to the (Dm7)stars
And the (Em)heavens for to (C)see,
(F) This is the (F/E)New Fron(D)tier,
(F) This is the (Am)New Fron(D)tier.

(A) And the day will (Em)come,
(D) It’s got to (C)be,
(G) The day that (Em)we may (A7)never (D)see,
(F) But man for (Dm7)man
And (Em)town for (C)town
(F) Will find the (F/A)peace (G) that shall re(C)sound.
(F) This is the (F/E)New Fron(D)tier,
(F) This is the (Am)New Fron(D)tier.

And it´s (G)some to the (Em)rivers
And (Am)some (D7)to the (G)sea,
Some to the (Bm)soil
That our (A7)fathers made (D)free.
And then (F)on to the (Dm7)stars
And the (Em)heavens for to (C)see,
(F) This is the (F/E)New Fron(D)tier,
(F) This is the (Am)New Fron(D)tier,
(F) This is the (F/E)New Fron(D)tier. (F) (Am) (D)
