Was He Ever Alive? easy guitar chords by 
Swans

Verse 1
D
Dm
D
When I die let me down
In the field in the ground
Dm
D
Where the water runs beneath me
Dm
D
And the sky's red and falling down
Dm
D
Round my eyes that I closed
Dm
D
And the world that I know
Dm
D
Is a shadow of a dream
Dm
D
That left me in my loneliness
Dm
D
Without a life behind me
That I can say I ever knew
That I can say I ever knew
Dm
D
Dm
That I can say I ever lived at all
D
Verse 2
Dm
D
Now I'm a drunken man
Dm
D
and I'm killing time
Dm
D
From what was mislaid
Dm
D
i've never been alive
Dm
D
I was never born in blood
Dm
D
I've nev er breathed a word
Dm
D
And the people that I knew
Dm
D
The women and the thieves
Dm
D
They left my body bleeding
Dm
D
On this piece of fallow ground
Dm
D
They left my body bleeding
Dm
D
On this piece of closing in
Dm
D
They left my body bleeding
Dm
D
Dm
D
Dm
On this piece of
D
Dm
emptiness
D
Dm
D
They left my body bleeding
On this piece of fallow ground
Where famine comes before me
And cuts my people down
Where the brown cloud
shuts the sun
Dm
D
And locusts eat our food
And the blood of lamb is spilled
Dm
D
And smeared across the altar
And the colors red and gold
Dm
D
Put their flavor in our soul
And the children are born blind
Dm
D
And the water turns to blood
And we're sheltered by our god
Who's hand is strong and bloody
And we're walking
Dm
D
earth that's filled
With the bodies that he's killed
To get our people free to get
our people out
To get our people free
to get our people out
He'll drown em in black waters
Dm
D
He'll send a swarm of flies
Yeah, he'll slaughter those that kill us
And he'll punish them that hide
Dm
D
Where was it decided? Where
Dm
D
was it described
Dm
D
That a man he gets no substance
That as he lays there as he dies
He ceases to believe
Dm
D
He was ever born in blood
Dm
D
That his eyes have ever seen
That his hands have ever held
Dm
D
Dm
D
That his lungs have ever breathed
That he's ever been alive
was he ever live?
Dm
D
Was he ever live? Was he ever live?
Was he ever live?
D

Well-Designed App
Rose the Black Cat
“I mostly use this for tuning my guitar, which this app makes ridiculously easy. It also has a large selection of songs to play along to and it helps show you which chords to play as well how to make the shapes with your fingers.”
Got me back into playing
Tuliketsune
“I got this app to tune an old guitar, and noticed it has a feature that autoscrolls as I play chords to famous songs. For some reason, this was a lot more motivating for me than any other way of practicing guitar. Now I'm actually practicing and remembering the names of chords 🙂”
Secret weapon
Brad
“Not only is it a tuner (best app tuner I've used personally) but it also has a metronome, games, chords, and a plethora of instruments to choose from and it's SUPER easy to navigate. I love it! Thanks for making an awesome app. From one musician to another, THANKS!!!”
Very reliable tuner

This is the best guitar tuner ever.
Caleb Schafli
“It tunes your guitar accurately so you can get the best sound. I like all the other little games as well because they teach you how to play different chords and you can learn to identify the chords by listening to them and it is all offline.”
Great to tune and play
