Rush - A Farewell To Kings Chords

[Verse 1]
            A                  F
When they turn the pages of history
             G                     E
When these days have passed long ago
  A                          F
Will they read of us with sadness
           G                E
For the seeds that we let grow?
  F#         G       G       F#           A
We turned our gaze from the castles in the distance
F#          G       G    F#               A
Eyes cast down on the path of least resistance
 
 
[Chorus]
   G                              A
Cities full of hatred, fear and lies
  G                                   A
Withered hearts and cruel, tormented eyes
 G                                  A
Scheming demons dressed in kingly guise
 G                D             A        B        G
Beating down the multitude and scoffing at the wise
 
 
[Verse 2]
     A             F               G               E
The hypocrites are slandering the sacred halls of Truth
 A              F               G             E
Ancient nobles showering their bitterness on youth
 F#       G    G    F#                 A
Can't we find the minds that made us strong?
 F#       G       F#            G                A
Can't we learn to feel what's right and what's wrong?
 A
What's wrong?
 
[Chorus]
 G                               A
Cities full of hatred, fear and lies
G                                     A
Withered hearts and cruel, tormented eyes
G                                  A
Scheming demons dressed in kingly guise
G                 D             A        B       G
Beating down the multitude and scoffing at the wise
 
 
[Outro]
G                                   A
Can't we raise our eyes and make a start?
G                                  A   A  B    G  G
Can't we find the minds to lead us closer to the Heart?
