This song is played in a "dropped" tuning
(DGCFAD, instead of EADGBE). However,
the chords I have listed are those that
would be played as if there was no dropped tuning.
Thus, an Am as I have it written is really a
Gm I guess. But it's a lot easier to play it
in the dropped tuning.
I can't remember the name of one chord - it's A something.
I have it listed as A??, but it's really just 003210
(it's that chord from My My Hey Hey)
LAm FA
Children
DO SOL LAm FA
Are lost in the sand clearing roads with little hands
DO MI LAm FA
Trying to join their father's castles together again
DO SOL LAm FA
Will they make it? Who knows where or when
SOL
Old wounds will mend
LAm FA
Shots
DO SOL LAm FA
Ringing all along the borders can be heard
DO MI LAm FA
Comin' down like a venom in the sky
DO SOL LAm FA
Cutting through the air faster than a bird
SOL
in the night
LAm FA
Machines
DO SOL LAm FA
Are winding their way along, looking strong
DO MI LAm FA
Building roads and bringing back loads
DO SOL LAm FA
of building materials
SOL
in the night
LAm FA
Men
DO SOL LAm FA
Are trying to move the boulders on the ground
DO MI LAm FA
lines between the different spots that each has found
DO SOL LAm FA
but back home another scene was going down
SOL
in the night
LAm FA
Lust
DO SOL LAm FA
Comes creepin' through the night to feed on hearts
DO MI LAm FA
of suburban wives who learned to pretend
DO SOL LAm FA
when they met their dreams end
SOL
in the night
Am G A??
But I'll never use your love you know I'm not like that
Am G A??
and so if you give your heart to me
REm MI7
I promise to you
REm MI7
whatever we do
A?? G C A?? C A??
that I will always be true
