Goodbye To The Village Chords

(ver. 1)
Killing Joke
[Intro]
Dmaj7 Eb6
 
[Verse 1]
Dmaj7
  Around the strangers moved, the shouts I felt within
Eb6
  New panoramas seen, I loved it as it was
Dmaj7
  Forests of pylons built, the scaffolding is raised
Eb6
  And how the men pursue their work, they act convinced of freedom
 
[Pre-chorus]
G Gadd9 Gm7
G Gadd9 Gm7
 
[Verse 2]
Dmaj7
  Crossed over by the bridge, the brook was running ill.
Eb6
  We recognised the place - places we knew as children
Dmaj7
  We wept upon the sight, and progress tore our hearts
Eb6
  Fences divide the land, homes boxed like rabbit hutches
 
[Pre-chorus]
G Gadd9 Gm7
G Gadd9 Gm7
 
[Chorus]
F      Eb6             Dm7 Bb
Goodbye to the village
F      Eb6             Dm7 Bb
Goodbye to the village
 
[Verse 3]
Dmaj7
  Where soil will not provide, no king and land are one
Eb6
  Monopolise the holy ground, all that we hold as sacred
Dmaj7
  No harvest moon shall rise, no valley homestead seen
Eb6
  And now the cities never end, and how the cities stretch forever
 
[Pre-chorus]
G Gadd9 Gm7
G Gadd9 Gm7
 
[Bridge]
C Ab/C Bb/C Am/C Db
C                                      Ab/C
  And in the morning promise me great times will come again
Bb/C                                    Am/C        Db
  And the homelands in our hearts will never fade away
C                                Ab/C
  Let the legends promise me the Earth shall rise again
Bb/C                                        Am/C        Db
  And homelands in the hearts of men shall never fade away
 
[Pre-chorus]
G Gadd9 Gm7
G Gadd9 Gm7
 
[Chorus]
F      Eb6             Dm7 Bb
Goodbye to the village
F      Eb6             Dm7 Bb
Goodbye to the village
F      Eb6             Dm7 Bb
Goodbye to the village
F      Eb6             Dm7 Bb
Goodbye to the village
 
[Outro]
Dmaj7 Eb6
Dmaj7
  I'll never never see my home, I'll never never see my home
Eb6
  You'll never never see your home, you'll never never see your home
Dmaj7
  I'll never never see my home, I'll never never see my home
Eb6
  You'll never never see your home, you'll never never see your home
[Ad lib]
