Capo 4


G                C               G
Oh sweet peace, never have you fallen 
C               G      D 
never have you fallen upon this town 
G                C              G
Oh sweet peace, never have you fallen 
C               G      D         G
never have you fallen upon this town 
    G            
The black crows are loaded 
          C                 G
with the call of things discarded 
     C                 G
the ribboned shard of battle 
     D
and everything burned 
            G
Have they forgotten we live here 
          C             G
do they think that we gave up 
C                  G
lay down and grew over 
D               G
weeds at every turn  
G                C               G
Oh sweet peace, never have you fallen 
C               G      D 
never have you fallen upon this town 
G                C              G
Oh sweet peace, never have you fallen 
C               G      D         G
never have you fallen upon this town 
G 
I will not rest 
            C                 G
until this place is full of sunlight 
        C               G
or at least until the darkness 
    D
Is quiet for a while 
    G
And we will not wait 
          C               G
for that murder to come calling 
     C                  G
The night will simply fall 
         D            G
and the morning will rise  
G                C               G
Oh sweet peace, never have you fallen 
C               G      D 
never have you fallen upon this town 
G                C              G
Oh sweet peace, never have you fallen 
C               G      D         G
never have you fallen upon this town 


G                C               G
Oh sweet peace, never have you fallen 
C               G      D 
never have you fallen upon this town 
C          G     C                 G
Oh sweet peace, when will you be calling 
C                 G         D         G
When will you be calling, upon this town
