Verse 1
(E major) (A minor) Oh! Oliver Boy what did you do?
But crush the hand (F major) you never (A minor) shook (E major)
Then rob the rights of people to be (A minor) free
Oh! Oliver Boy it's a terrible state
You left behind a worse off race
(E major) Where dignity and pride
fought for their (A minor) place
(G major) Oh! Oliver Boy now (A minor) you are (E major) gone
And we're still here where
we (A minor) belong
(E major) Forgiveness being our strength you'll never

Verse 2
Now (A minor) the sun shines on this page I write
Though it's (F major) raining hard in Palestine
No lands (E major) are promised lands
When will we see? (C major) (G major) (E major) (A minor)
So don't tell me that your
God's my God
I don't think (F major) they even care at all
Just a pantomime (E major) behind
a curtain lies deceit (C major)
(G major) (E major) (G major) (A minor) Oh (G major) listen to
me bark (C major) out loud
Without (E major) a voice and little (A minor) growl
Snapping (G major) at the (C major) heels I wait
For something (E major) more to change
The more they stay (C major) (E major) the same
Verse 3
(A minor) Oliver Boy! It's the same militia
(F major) Oliver Boy! Just the clothes are different
(C major) Oliver Boy! It's the same old story
(E major) Where there's blood
Verse 4
there's death not glory
(A minor) Look into these empty eyes
Fed (F major) upon by parasites
As (E major) beauty's ugly head devours
its plight (C major) (G major) (E major) (A minor)
While the borders of our hate create
(F major) Nothing more than each our fate
Trapped (E major) between our comfort
and our crime (C major) (G major) (E major) (A minor)
So stand (G major) along the grave (C major) yard wall
And (E major) watch the souls perform (A minor) their song
Sing (G major) to us the dead (C major) above
As the mourners (E major) come to pray
The living stay (C major) (E major) away
Verse 5
(A minor) Oliver Boy! It's the same militia
Oliv (F major) er Boy! Just
the clothes are different
(C major) Oliver Boy! It's the same old story
(E major) Where there's blood there's
death not glory
Oliver (A minor) Boy! We're all someone's sons
All (F major) of our Boys! Just put down their guns
(C major) Oliver Boy! You're dead but listen
(E major) You were wrong but we're no dif

Verse 6
Marching (A minor) to the (C major) left,
(F major) everyone (C major) in step
Don't ask the question,
(E major) why we're here with no direction (A minor)
March (C major) ing to the (E major) right,
(C major) (F major) this is not our (C major) fight
The curse (E major) of friction,
Verse 7
born of man and contradiction

death not glory
Oliver (A minor) Boy! We're all someone's sons
All (F major) of our Boys! Just put down the guns
Oliver (C major) Boy! You're dead but listen
(E major) You were wrong but we're no different
All (A minor) of our boys!
