Intro 1

Verse 1
F 
Was it bitter then with
C 
F 
C 
G 
our backs against the wall?
Were we better men than
we'd ever been before?
C 
F 
C 
F 
Say, if she came again today,
C 
F 
C 
G 
would you still answer to the call?
Tell the truth, my friend,
C 
F 
don't it matter anymore?
We were simple men by her
C 
G 
side when she was born
It was simple then like the
C 
F 
freedom when you fall
And we were smaller then, you see,
C 
F 
C 
G 
but soon we gathered like a storm.
Dm 
G 
They don't understand what that thunder
C 
F 
C 
F 
C 
F 
G 
meant at all.
C 
F 
Was he crucified? Was he done
C 
G

Are you satisfied that he'll
C 
F

F

C 
G

C 
F

Was it bitter then,
C 
F 
G 
with our backs against the wall?
Were we better men than
C 
we'd ever been before?
F 
Say, if she came again today,
C 
F 
G 
would you still answer to the call?
Tell the truth, my friend,
