Key: A minor
Verse 1
Am
I've seen a thousand
Dm
people kneel in silence
Am
I've seen them face the
Gm
rifles with their songs
Am
I always thought that we
Gm
could end the killing
Am
B
But now I live in fear that I was wrong
Am
Dm
The killer and the cynic waltz together
Am
Gm
Their eyes are turned into their skulls
Am
They do not feel the
Gm
bullets in their bodies
Am
B
They do not hear the dolphin or the gull
Em
If we do these things in
Am
F
Am
the green wood
Dm
E
Am
What will happen in the dry?
If we don't stop there'll come a
Dm
time when wo men
Am
With barren womb will bitterly rejoice
Gm
Am
With breasts that dry and
Gm
shrivel with no
Am
B
Gladly they'll not suckle one more life
Am
Dm
Is this then the whimper and the ending?
Am
Gm
The impotence of people raised on fear
Am
A fear to blind the sense
Gm
of common oneness
Am
that come in love and life and
G
Bm
B
Em
death are here.
Am
If we do these things in the green,
F
Am
Dm
E
Am
what will happen in the dry?
Will no one light the candle
Dm
in the darkness?
Am
Gm
Will no one be my guide, not let me fall?
Am
I've lost the sense that tells
Gm
me where the path is.
Am
B
I feel the chill of winter in my soul
Bm
Am
There's no way I can say
Dm
the words more plainly
Am
There's no one left to point at anymore
Gm
Am
It's you and me and we
must make the choice
Gm
Am
now, and not destroy this
B
Em
life we're living for.
Am
If we do these things in the grid
F
Dm
E
Am
What will happen in the draw?
