*Can be easily transposed but the plucking portion is meant to be in the key of C.
**You can also substitute any 3's on the C string to a 0 on the A string-- this may help
simplify the actual plucking, but it does spread it out across all 4 strings.

Verse:
C Must it take a life for hateful eyes Am To glisten once again F Five hundred years like Gelignite Am G Have blown us all to hell C What savior rests while on his cross we die Am Forgotten freedom burns F Has the Shepard led his lambs astray Am G to the bigot and the gun F C Must it take a life for hateful eyes F G To glisten once again C F Am F Cause we find ourselves in the same old mess C G C Singin' drunken lullabies C I watch and stare as Rosin`s eyes Am Turn a darker shade of red F And the bullet with this sniper lie Am G In their bloody gutless cell C Must we starve on crumbs from long ago Am Through these bars of men made steel F Is it a great or little thing we fought Am G Knelt the conscience blessed to kill F C Must it take a life for hateful eyes F G To glisten once again C F Am F Cause we find ourselves in the same old mess C G C Singin' drunken lullabies F G C Ah, but maybe it`s the way we're taught F G C Or maybe it`s the way we fought F G C F But a smile never grins without tears to begin F G C For each kiss is a cry we all lost F C Though nothing left to gain F G But for the banshee that stole the grave C F Am Cause we find ourselves in the same old mess C G C Singin' drunken lullabies C I sit in and dwell on faces past Am Like memories seem to fade F No colour left but black and white Am G And soon will all turn grey C But may these shadows rise to walk again Am With lessons truly learnt F When the blossom flowers in each our hearts Am G Shall beat a new found flame F C Must it take a life for hateful eyes F G To glisten once again C F Am F Cause we find ourselves in the same old mess C G C Singin' drunken lullabies C F Am F Cause we find ourselves in the same old mess C G C Singin' drunken lullabies C G C Singin' drunken lullabies
