Chords

[Intro] C B Em D Em D Em A Em A [Verse 1]
Em                 D
Run they said to a promised land

Em                 D
Run and find us a helping hand

Em                       A
Don't come back till the sun is gone

Em                       A
Don't come back till the war is won

Em                       D
We all set out with our hearts in hand

Em                       D
A cold wind covered up a line in the sand

Em             A
All so young nothing to lose

Em                    A
Pieces of silver and a dead mans shoes
[Chorus]
    D                       C#
And oh do you know what I'm saying

                   D
Strike a light to guide us

     A
Somewhere
[Verse 2]
Em                 D
Tempest swells our worlds collide

Em                        D
Arrows from above and the salt in our eyes

Em              A
Then as the sky began to bruise

Em                          A
We all sought shelter from the breaking news
[Chorus]
D              C#
Oh did I ever show you

                 D                        A
All the great memorials, all the factory floors?

    D                          C#
And oh though you know I don't know you

           D
Now that we're here

                 A
Let's make them proud
[Middle 8]
G              C            G            C
On and on and on and on and on and on we go

G               C
Traipsing over bridges

      G            C
Over corpses down below

     G                C
And all the while we could have smiled

    G                 C
For one thing on our minds

     G               C
The very thing you strive for

         G                   F#
Is the thing that makes you blind
[Verse 3]
Em                 D
Run they said to a promised land

Em                 D
Run and find us a helping hand

Em                       A
Don't come back till the sun is gone

Em                       A
Don't come back till the war is won

Em              D
Tempest high, stories tall

Em                    D
Thought that we'd learnt nothing at all

Em              A
Then at last the day was saved

Em                         A
With flowers borrowed from a dead friends grave
[Chorus]
     D                     C#
And oh even still I don't know you

            D
Maybe I'll show you

                   A
If you've eyes to see
[Outro] Em A Em A Em A Em A
Em          A
And so farewell

Em          A
And so farewell

Em          A
And so farewell

Em          A       Em
And so farewell to it
