[Intro]
C B
Em D Em D
Em A Em A
[Verse 1]
Em D
Run they said to a promised land
Em D
Run and find us a helping hand
Em A
Don't come back till the sun is gone
Em A
Don't come back till the war is won
Em D
We all set out with our hearts in hand
Em D
A cold wind covered up a line in the sand
Em A
All so young nothing to lose
Em A
Pieces of silver and a dead mans shoes
[Chorus]
D C#
And oh do you know what I'm saying
D
Strike a light to guide us
A
Somewhere
[Verse 2]
Em D
Tempest swells our worlds collide
Em D
Arrows from above and the salt in our eyes
Em A
Then as the sky began to bruise
Em A
We all sought shelter from the breaking news
[Chorus]
D C#
Oh did I ever show you
D A
All the great memorials, all the factory floors?
D C#
And oh though you know I don't know you
D
Now that we're here
A
Let's make them proud
[Middle 8]
G C G C
On and on and on and on and on and on we go
G C
Traipsing over bridges
G C
Over corpses down below
G C
And all the while we could have smiled
G C
For one thing on our minds
G C
The very thing you strive for
G F#
Is the thing that makes you blind
[Verse 3]
Em D
Run they said to a promised land
Em D
Run and find us a helping hand
Em A
Don't come back till the sun is gone
Em A
Don't come back till the war is won
Em D
Tempest high, stories tall
Em D
Thought that we'd learnt nothing at all
Em A
Then at last the day was saved
Em A
With flowers borrowed from a dead friends grave
[Chorus]
D C#
And oh even still I don't know you
D
Maybe I'll show you
A
If you've eyes to see
[Outro]
Em A Em A
Em A Em A
Em A
And so farewell
Em A
And so farewell
Em A
And so farewell
Em A Em
And so farewell to it
