Chords

[Intro] D [Chorus]
D
Read about the sorry way he done somebody's daughter

A                            D
Chained to a heavy thing and threw her in the water

        D
And she sank into the darkness with their baby son inside her

A                                  D
A little piece of truth and beauty died
[Verse]
D
Burnin' up the atmosphere and cuttin' down the trees

    A                           D
The billion dollar bombin' of a nation on its knees

D
Anyone not marchin' to their tune they call it treason

A                           D
Everyone says God is on his side

        D                  G
See the lightnin' hear the cries

       A                          D
Of the wounded of a world in holy war

                        G
Mortal thunder from the skies

        A                                   D
Killin' everything they say they're fightin for
[Verse]
       D              G
Broken babies, broken homes

      A                      D
Broken hearted people dyin' everyday

                             G
How'd this happen, what went wrong

            A                              D
Don't blame God I swear to God I heard Him say

        D               G
"Not in My name, not on My ground

       A                             D
I want nothin' but the endin' of the war

                        G
No more killin' or it's over

        A                    D
And the Mystery won't matter anymore"
[Verse]
       D                G
Broken dreamers, broken rules

      A                               D
Broken hearted people just like me and you

                       G
We are children of the stars

            A                              D
Don't blame God I swear to God He's cryin' too

        D                  G
"Not in My name, not on My ground

       A                             D
I want nothin' but the endin' of the war

                         G
No more killin', or it's over

        A                    D
And the Mystery won't matter anymore"
