Swords To Rust Hearts To Dust Chords

(ver. 1)
Rome
[Intro]
Am C G F

[Verse 1]
Am               E7
We shall let our songs drown
                  Am
The rattle of the train
                       E7
And the roaring of the crowd
Am                E7                      Am
We shall wet our throat with sticky dark wine
                     E7
And toast this blood wedding so fine
Am        E7                Am
To new horizons! to a new dawn!
                       E7
To a new and reckless generosity!
Am           E7
For this our land of the free
          Am         E7
We shall win, die or betray and turn

[Chorus]
Am               C
Swords to rust - hearts to dust
G
In vain to write our name
F
In blood and in flowers of flame
Am               C
Swords to rust - hearts to dust
G
All blind and gone astray
F
Our envy green as may

[Verse 2]
Am                    E7
All smothered in wild flowers
Am                  E7
We break the windows to breathe
Am                  E7
That golden dawn is ours
Am               E7
For tonight hesitation is on leave
Am          E7
To wear god down
               Am
To flatten him out
              E7
To pray to no other
Am              E7
To parley with death
              Am
To bury the crown
                E7
To silence all lovers
We shall turn

[Chorus]
Am               C
Swords to rust - hearts to dust
G
In vain to write our name
F
In blood and in flowers of flame
Am               C
Swords to rust - hearts to dust
G
All blind and gone astray
F
Our envy green as may

[interlude]
N.C.
Schwerter zu rost herzen zu staub!
N.C.
Dennoch die schwerter halten
N.C.
Dennoch die herzen spalten

[Chorus]
Am               C
Swords to rust - hearts to dust
G
In vain to write our name
F
In blood and in flowers of flame
Am               C
Swords to rust - hearts to dust
G
All blind and gone astray
F
Our envy green as may
Am               C
Swords to rust - hearts to dust
G
In vain to write our name
F
In blood and in flowers of flame
Am               C
Swords to rust - hearts to dust
G
All blind and gone astray
F
Our envy green as may
