Verse 1
C 
He pointed to the edge of the river
with a hand still shaking
Em 
D 
That's where the nightmare
C

came
D 
C 
Banya, banya, the auntie screamed
Em 
D 
C 
As the jar drums began to run
Nigga, now, quickly,
to the tops of the trees
Em 
D 
C 
They shut on down like Legion autumns
So I go there in the summer, summer,
to pay my respects
Em 
But there's no headstone,
where's our list?
C 
We forget I'm reminded in summer,
in summer
With that flag around your neck
D 
Em 
D 
C 
That I was, and that always will
Em

Em

be
D 
C 
Under the gunshots echoed down the valley
Em 
D 
C 
A young rider came
Under a possum's skin,
on a dead mother's breast
Em 
D 
C 
Afraid to fight the monstrous flame
So I go there in the summer, summer,
to pay my respects
Em 
There's no headstone that wears out
the less we forget
C 
I'm reminded each summer,
summer,
with that black old ratchet neck
D 
Em 
D 
C 
That I was, and I always will be

Ohh -ohh   -ohh, ohh -ohh  -ohh,

ohh -ohh -ohh
D 
C 
Well I could take you there this summer,
this summer
We could pay our respects
Em 
and there's no guilt for it
But although you might
need to jump the fence
A 
And it's not the need to forgive,
C 
God knows we can't forget
D 
Em 
D 
C 
That I was and I always will be
Em 
D 
C 
That I was and I always will be
D 
Em 
D 
C 
That I was and I always will be
