-------------------------------------------- from the 2018 album Resistance is Futile (Deluxe Edition bonus disc). Tab by James Glover (Sebadonut) [Intro] Bb [Verse 1]
Bb                Gm
My old school has closed its doors

    Eb                          F
the once  green  fields are now concrete floors

        Bb                        Gm
and the roads are choking full of misery & fear

       Eb                           F
but my visions getting clearer & my mind it feels so free
[Break] Bb Gm Eb F [Verse 2]
      Bb                 Gm
& the work is hard & the wages are low

        Eb                        F
but the smiles still appear & the rivers still flow

    Bb              Gm
and all I can do is sit here and moan

       Eb                          F
but my heart still bleeds for this place that I call home
[Chorus] Bb Gm Eb F [Verse 3]
   Bb              Gm
My boyhood made of dreams of love

    Eb                        F
the happiest of times sitting with my mum and dad but the

Bb                     Gm
bridges the houses now dominate

    Eb                             F
the vaping & the super schools the breeding grounds of hate

          Bb                      Gm
But those once green fields still live in my mind

     Eb                   F
they seemed so perfect so simple and so kind

     Bb                     Gm
Just me and my brother were kicking a ball

    Eb                 F
the world so close and so beautiful
[Chorus] Bb Gm Eb F [Verse 4]
      Bb               Gm
And I got no answers I place no blame

  Eb                      F
I just feel longing and I wanna hear you name

     Bb                           Gm
as I walk and I run through these once green fields

    Eb               F
Its easy to see what has disappeared

        Bb                        Gm
and the air is getting heavy with memory and loss

    Eb                      F
the joy and the freedom but freedom at what cost

        Bb                        Gm
and the air is getting heavy with memory and loss

    Eb                      F
the joy and the freedom but freedom at what cost
[Chorus] Bb Gm Eb F Bb Bb [Break] Bb F Cm Gm Eb Bb F Bb F Cm Gm Eb Bb F [Verse 5]
   Bb                       Gm
Is this your inheritance is this all thats left

    Eb                           F
the mountains we climbed are now mountains of debt

        Bb                        Gm
and the air is getting heavy with memory and loss

    Eb                      F
the joy and the freedom but freedom at what cost
[Outro]
