[Verse 1]
Bm Watching them come and go A The Templars and the Saracens G They're travelling the holy land A Opening telegrams Bm Torture comes and torture goes A Knights who'd give you anything G They bear the cross of Coeur de Leon A F# Salvation for the mirror blind ooh!
[Bridge]
F# Gm But if you pray F C Cm All your sins are hooked upon the sky Am Em Cm Pray and the heathen lie will disappear [Break] e|--------------------------------0-2----| B|--------------------------0-1-3--------| G|---------0-2----------0-2--------------| D|---0-2-4--------0-2-4------------------| A|---------------------------------------| E|---------------------------------------|
[Chorus]
G A11 Prayers they hide the saddest view Bb6 A11 (Believing the strangest things, loving the alien) G A11 And your prayers, they break the sky in two Bb6 A11 (Believing the strangest things, loving the alien)
[Instrumental]
Bm A G A
[Verse 2]
Bm Thinking of a different time A Palestine a modern problem G Bounty and your wealth in land A Terror in a best laid plan Bm Watching them come and go A Tomorrows and the yesterdays G Christians and the unbelievers A F# Hanging by the cross and nail ohh
[Bridge]
