Verse 1
Someone left (E minor)
a child and did (A minor) not even care
Before the first (E minor) shots of the battle
here (B major) had even pierced the air
Yes, they run (E minor) now like them children
to those arms (A minor) of mother earth
Trying to pretend (E minor) as if there was
a day (B major) before their very birth

(E minor)
But, down in basements choked
with smoke (A minor) child of the past
All them dream (E minor) s come up for air
round here (B major) but they can only gasp
All them old (E minor) men they sit staring
as life slips (A minor) out of their grips
Only to fall (E minor) and disappear bey
(B major) ond their cracked old fingertips

But down in ditches by

All of you (E minor) come a cussin' now (B major) all
and all just throwing stones
Yes they're big (E minor) men now to settle
down (C major) and life's (A minor) so stale and cold
As if I had (E minor) to spend my life the way
they do (B major) just as they're told
Verse 7
So if you should find (B major) me living low when
the miles (A major) have passed me by
And it seem (A minor) s that I have left now

I'm just towin that line (E minor)
Mmmmmm (A minor)
