Intro 1
(E minor)
Verse 1
Distant cannon (E minor) fire
(B minor) in (E minor) the (G major) hills above our town
Me (D major) and Ramon got (A major) so
scared we (A minor) hit the ground
Of (D major) (G major) (C major) (E minor) the twenty men (D major) in (B minor)
(D major) (G major) my sweet shoulder line
All (D major) but five felt the pain of
(A minor) Franco's knife (C major)
(D major) Though (C major) the (E minor) wind blowed
through the (G major) Barcelona plain
When they (D major) burned my palms
and (A major) touched her skin
When (A minor) he sang,
I (C major) told (D major) him all again (A major) and again
and again (A minor) and again and again
Why (G major) in the (B minor) world did they (C major) bring me here?
(B minor) It's so weird (A minor) to find (D major)
The (G major) sins of the (B minor) fathers are gone but still
(C major) An (B minor) d they call (A minor) me a (D major) liar
And (G major) a child of (B minor) darkness
is (C major) never gonna get (B minor) much higher (A minor)
Than (F major) distant cannon (E minor) fire (D major) (E minor)
They (G major) are (E minor) closer now to the (G major) village gate
The (D major) trains are full and the (A major) pass is blocked,
so we'll (A minor) have to wait
But a (E minor) friend of mine from across (G major) the sea
(B minor) Speak (G major) (D major) s of a place
where a (A major) man can live
and still (A minor) be free
Where no (E minor) palace guards
through a (G major) moonless night
(D major) Turn my candle to (A major) the ground
and (A minor) run from sight (C major)
(D major) Turn my candle to (A major) the ground
and they (A minor) run, yes they run,
yes they run, yes they run
Why (G major) in the (B minor) world did
they (C major) bring you here
(B minor) so (G major) near (A minor) to the (D major) fire?
The (G major) sins of their (B minor) fathers have gone,
but still, (C major) (G major) they call (A minor) the em (D major) pire
An (G major) d a child of (B minor) darkness,
nev (C major) er gonna get (G major) much higher (A minor)
Than (G major) (F major) distant cannon (E minor) fire (D major)
(A minor) (D major) (Asus4) (A minor) (D major) (A minor)
(D major) I remember all (A minor) my life (D major) running to the well
(A major) That (Asus4) (D major) was when
the springs (Asus4) were full, (A minor)
(D major) so only time will (A minor) tell
Just (D major) how long (A minor) we can last,
Ra (D major) mon said please
But (A minor) I (D major) can tell you (A minor) one damn thing,
I'll (D major) never, no, I'll nev (A major) er be a slave. (A minor) (D major)
(G major) Why in the world (B minor) did they (C major) bring it
(G major) so near (A minor) to the (D major) fire? (G major)
The sins of the (B minor) fathers have gone,
but still, (C major) (B minor) they (G major) just call (A minor) it such a (D major) fire.
An (G major) d a child of (B minor) darkness
is nev (C major) er gonna get (B minor) much higher (A minor)
Than (F major) distant cannon (E minor) fire (D major) (G major) (B minor) (C major) (G major) (A minor)
(D major) (G major) (B minor) (C major) (G major)
(A minor) (D major) (G major) (B minor) (C major) (A minor) (C major) (F major) (E minor) (D major)
(G major) (B minor) (C major) (B minor) (G major) (A minor)
I'm (D major) (G major) gonna
I'm (B minor) gonna miss (C major) you (G major) (A minor) (D major) (G major)
(B minor) (G major) (C major) (G major) (A minor) (F major) (E minor) (D major)
(G major) (B minor)
