The Wailin Jennys - Avila Chords

D         A       D              A
Oh sweet peace, never have you fallen
D                A     E
never have you fallen upon this town
D         A       D              A
Oh sweet peace, never have you fallen
D                A     E         A
never have you fallen upon this town

D                     A
The black crows are loaded
D                        A
with the call of things discarded
D                    A
the ribboned shard of battle
E
and everything burned
D                       A
Have they forgotten we live here
D                    A
do they think that we gave up
D              A
lay down and grew over
E             A
weeds at every turn

Oh sweet peace, never have you fallen
never have you fallen upon this town
Oh sweet peace, never have you fallen
never have you fallen upon this town

I will not rest
until this place is full of sunlight
or at least until the darkness
is quiet for a while
And we will not wait
for that murder to come calling
The night will simply fall
and the morning will rise

Oh sweet peace, never have you fallen
never have you fallen upon this town
Oh sweet peace, when will you come calling
when will you come calling upon this town
