- The Em/G is just a quick back and forth of 3X0003/3X2003/3X0003 [Intro] G C A D G Em/G G [Verse 1]
      G                                  C            G
Oh, I carried you in my arms through the hotel to our room

    Bb                    F                   C     G
The night was filled with music, those old historic tunes

G                               Bb         F       G
Songs of revolution, filled our hearts and fed our souls

       Bb          F                                G
As the fireworks exploded, like those cannons long ago
[Chorus]
        G                        C              G
See the kids in the candlelight, spirits on the mend

C            G                    A              D
Every golden child tonight, feels changes on the wind

        G                        C               G
See the kids in the candlelight, see 'em shining bright

C           G                       A           D     G    Em/G G
Innocence beyond the fight, see the kids in the candlelight
[Instrumental] C G A D G Em/G G [Verse 2]
     G                                  C                  G
Five hundred wooden saints below, their colors cracked and dry

    Bb                 F                               C         G
You said their stories should be told, did they suffer when they died

G                               Bb       F       G
Give us your tradition, give us hope and send us home

      Bb                   F                              G
We'll be the cracked bells tolling, the voice of dust and bones
[Chorus]
        G                        C              G
See the kids in the candlelight, spirits on the mend

C            G                    A              D
Every golden child tonight, feels changes on the wind

        G                        C               G
See the kids in the candlelight, see 'em shining bright

C           G                       A           D     G    Em/G G
Innocence beyond the fight, see the kids in the candlelight
[Instrumental] C G C A D [Verse 3]
    G                              C                G
The pillow that you dream on, lies rolled up on the floor

    Bb               F                          C       G
You tossed it at the TV screen at the drug lord and his war

G                                   C    F         G
Thinking of the courtyard, forced a tear from your eyes

    Bb                  F                             G
The white shirts in the moonlight, the warm forgiving smiles
[Chorus]
        G                        C              G
See the kids in the candlelight, spirits on the mend

C            G                    A              D
Every golden child tonight, feels changes on the wind

        G                        C               G
See the kids in the candlelight, see 'em shining bright

C           G                       A           D     G
Innocence beyond the fight, see the kids in the candlelight
[Outro]
G              C             A D G C G
Yea, yea, yea, yea, yea, yea
