Dm                                      C
I came from the hills with a tear in my eye

C                 G          Dm           C   Dm
The winter closed in and the crows filled the sky

Dm              F                          C
The houses were burning in flames gold and red

C               G            Dm        C  Dm
The people were running with eyes full of dread
F C Dm C F C Dm C Dm [Chorus]
F   F    C           Dm             C        Dm C Dm
Ah  my  James. They didn’t have to do this
[Instrumental] Dm C G Dm C Dm [Verse]
Dm                                         C
We chased them for miles I had tears in my eyes

C                  G           Dm            C   Dm
Through forest and moor as the clouds filled the sky

Dm                F                   C
The storm broke upon us with fury and flame

C                G             Dm     C   Dm
Both hunters and hunted washed out in the rain
[Instrumental] F C Dm C F C Dm C Dm [Chorus]
F   F    C           Dm             C       Dm C Dm

 Am    Cmaj7        G6      Fmaj7
I know         I can never return

       Am      Cmaj7     G6    Fmaj7
To the time of hope when I was born

        Am          Cmaj7     G6         Fmaj7    G   F   G  F  G
Let the strength of peace run through my hands

       Am    Cmaj7         G6      Fmaj7
When we walk away from the storm’s roar

     Am     Cmaj7  G6       Fmaj7
Then I will be    afraid no more

    Am      Cmaj7   G6      Fmaj7
And now I’m sure of where I stand

        Am          Cmaj7     G6           Fmaj7     G
Let the strength of peace run through this land
[Instrumental] Dm C G Dm C Dm [Verse]
Dm                                    C
And nobody smiled as we took back our own

C                 G         Dm      C     Dm
While rain beat upon us the thunder would moan

Dm         F                            C
And nobody smiled when we knew what was lost

C             G          Dm          C   Dm
We knew well enough only time proves the cost
[Instrumental] F C Dm C F C Dm C Dm [Chorus]

Ah  my  James. They didn’t have to do this

Ah  my  James. They didn’t have to do this

To the time of hope when I was born

        Am          Cmaj7     G6         Fmaj7   F    G
Let the strength of peace run through my hands

       Am    Cmaj7        G6      Fmaj7
When we walk away from the storm’s roar
