[Intro] Bb G Bb Dm7 Am Dm7 C [Verse 1] N.C. Am D There are rifles buried in the countryside
        Bm C   G      D    Em
For the rising of the moon

May they lie there long forgotten

Till they rust away into the ground

         Bm  C   G     D    Em
Will the killing to an end?

Who will swallow long injustice

Take the devil for a countryman?

Just the blessing of forgiveness

Missing brothers, martyred fellows

Silent children in the ground

             Em                        D
