intro: Am x 4 ( fig 1 )
Am (4 x fig 1)
Moon
C (2 x fig 2) Em ( 2 x fig 3 ) Am (4 x fig 1)
How it falls on the field down among us
Am (4 x fig 1)
Rain falls
C (2 x fig 2) Em ( 2 x fig 3 ) Am (4 x fig 1)
on the king and his men on the riverbed
Am (4 x fig 1)
Now
C (2 x fig 2) Em ( 2 x fig 3 ) Am (4 x fig 1)
Now we meet after all these years
Am -> C ( fig 4 )
C (2 x fig 2) Em ( 2 x fig 3 ) Am (4 x fig 1) Am -> C ( fig 4 )
Do you my king, do you rem - ember me?
C (2 x fig 2) Em ( 2 x fig 3 ) Am (4 x fig 1) Am -> C ( fig 4 )
Yeah, I see your face before me now
C (2 x fig 2) G ( 2 x fig 5 ) F ( 2 x fig 6 )
And I'm telling you tonight that I know we belong
Am (2 x fig 1) Am -> C ( fig 4 )
Beyond this life
C (2 x fig 2) Em ( 2 x fig 3 ) Am (4 x fig 1)
The war has taken its turn and it ain't ever turning back
I grew to be a man
A man who grew to be a king
Got a job at the mill
And when the war came
I signed up for you
Every day now
I send a letter to the people back home
Oh, I bet you long for the life that you lived
Me and myself I got nothing to lose but this war
And I'm telling you the war that I fought
It was wrong
And we must die
Well now the shells are hammering down on the riverbed
Drums roll
And we must go
We must go, the enemy is upon us
Rise from your knee
And now, pull to the bridge
Oh, brother don't turn, cause I'm right behind you now
Go on, go on, on up from the riverbed
For I'm telling you the war that I fought
It was wrong
And we must die
It doesn't matter much now anyway
Tonight we unite
Dm ( 4 x fig 7 )
And when we're pushing through,
Am ( 4 x fig 1 )
I turn around one last time
Dm ( 4 x fig 7 )
And through the fire and the rain
Am ( 4 x fig 1 )
I see the king's white flag
Em ( 4 x fig 3 )
The king lives on
But everyone
Am ( 1 x fig 1 )
Everybody dies
