Verse 1
(D major) Came here in eighty -three,
(D minor) a little frightened child
(A major) He came here by himself
because both of his parents died
He (D major) lost them in a raid,
(D minor) could not remember when
He (A major) had to stand the cold,
he had to learn to speak again (D major) (D minor) (D major) (D minor)
(D major) (D minor) (D major) (D minor) (D major) (D minor) (A major)
(C major) (F major) (D minor) (F major) (C major) (A major)
So, (D major) let's
He knew he didn't stand a (D minor) chance
When (A major) he got stuck in this alleyway
He (C major) knew that nothing he (F major) could say
Would (C major) stop them in their (A major) furor (C sharpdim)
(A major) (D major) Why his legs began to (D minor) shake
He (A major) prayed they wouldn't go too far
He (C major) tried to hide under (F major) a car
But (C major) someone dragged him out (E major) (Baug)
(G major) The rest was getting close
(B minor) And then a hail of blows
(E minor) Pounding on his (G major) head
(B minor) Leaving him (E major) for (A major) dead
The (D major) first boot kicked him (D minor) in the head
The (A major) second took his breath away
The third (C major) one made his wall (F major) turn grey
He didn't (C major) feel the (A major) others
He (D major) didn't know how (D minor) he survived
He thought (A major) that he heard someone shout
It (C major) must have been when he (F major) passed out
He (C major) felt it with relief (E major) (Baug)
(G major) An ambulance arrived,
they (B minor) said they saved his life
(E minor) He lost a lot of blood, (G major) (B minor)
bone, white skin (E major) and a red mark
(F major) Oth (F sharp minor) er day (D major) had changed (B minor) his life, (E major)
things would (F sharp minor) never be the (D major) same
when the (B minor) blows arrived (E major)
Of (F sharp minor) the day (D major) he (B minor) lost his faith
(E major) When they (A major) broke his bones of (D major) pride
With (B minor) blood all (E major) over the place (G major) (D major)
(D minor) (A major) (C major) (F major) (D minor) (F major) (C major) (A major)
There (D major) was no feeling of re (D minor) lief
When (A major) he regained his consciousness
I (C major) called it post -trau (F major) matic stress,
I said (C major) he would get bet (A major) ter (C sharpdim)
(A major) Which (D major) didn't turn out to be (D minor) true
Cause (A major) there was this irrational fright
That stayed (C major) with him day (F major) and night
To (C major) haunt him in his sleep (E major) (Baug) (G major)
He thought they took his pride
(B minor) And every time he cried,
(E minor) he felt this kind of (G major) shame
(B minor) As if he had to (E major) blame himself
(F sharp minor) On the day (D major) that changed (B minor) his life
(E major) Things would (F sharp minor) never be the (D major) same
when the (B minor) blows arrived (E major)
(F sharp minor) On the day (D major) he (B minor) lost his faith
(E major) When they're (A major) broken, scorned, and (D major) cried
But (B minor) blood all (E major) over the place (F sharp minor) (D major)
Blood (B minor) all (E major) over the place (A major) (D major)
Blood (B minor) all (E major) over the place (F sharp minor) (D major)
Blood (B minor) all (E major) over the place (A major) (D major)
Blood (B minor) all (E major) over the place (G major) you
