Chords

G Em D C
im pretty sure the strumming is ddudu but i could be wrong, refer to video. starting at the second
"how would they break through the stones" through the rest of the song, each chord is one strum (d) I think the link opens the wrong video for some reason but the video is called "peter mcpolands bop" on youtube and this song starts at 5:35 [Verse]
G
We're children in the eyes of the mothers,

Em
and the mothers are all blind deaf and dumb

D
and the mute have called out one another

C
and the blind will not look at anyone
G
G
and the schoolgirls have all gotten killed yet

Em
in the crossfire of beauty and age

D
and the men are now selling free will oh

C
and i’m buying some once i get paid oho
G
G                          Em
so when will the lines all break

D                             C
and when will the bells sound home

G
and when will the bikes on the

Em              D                    C
front yard lawn weather down and all erode

G                      Em
and why did the ladies laugh

D                          C
when they had packed their spokes

G                             Em
with magnolia leaves from the dying trees

        D                       C
as they wrote from a one story joke

              Em
green was the grass

               C            G
blue we’re the eyes staring back

       D            Em
at the homes of the past
Em
G                                Em
how would they break through the stones

    D                               C
and how would they swim through the blood

    G                   Em                         D                C
and how long until that dam on the hill broke it’s back cried for a flood

    G                        Em
and when it was all said and done

D                          C
who would be there left to blame

        G                         Em
for the ladies all laughed at the clearing of the path

        D                              C
and the flood washed the street signs away
[Chorus]
              Em
green was the grass

               C            G
blue we’re the eyes staring back

       D            Em
at the homes of the past
Em
G                                Em
how would they break through the stones

    D                               C
and how would they swim through the blood

    G                   Em                         D                C
and how long until that dam on the hill broke it’s back cried for a flood

    G                        Em
and when it was all said and done

D                          C
who would be there left to blame

        G                         Em
for the ladies all laughed at the clearing of the path

        D                              C
and the flood washed the street signs away
N.C. green was the grass
