Chords

[Intro] G C/G F Dm x7 G C/G F Am [Verse 1] (Slow strumming)
Am                        E        F
The scent of Thyme carried on the wind

G                      F    Am
Stings my face into remembering

Am              E      F
Cruel nature has won again

G               F     Am
Cruel nature has won again

Am
(Pick up strumming pace)
[Chorus]
Am                  E           F
On Battleship Hill’s caved in trenches

G                F       Am
A hateful feeling still lingers

Am         E         F
Even now eighty years later

G            F            Am
Cruel nature, cruel, cruel nature
[Instrumental] G C/G F Dm x3 G C/G F Am [Verse 2]
Am                      E          F
The land returns to how it’s always been

G            F      Am
Thyme carried on the wind

Am              E    F
Jagged mountains jutting out

G                      F      Am
Cracked like teeth in a rotten mouth
[Chorus]
Am                  E          F
On Battleship Hill I hear the wind

G               F      Am
Cruel nature has won again

G      C/G      F      Am
Cruel nature has won again

G      C/G      F      Am   Am
Cruel nature has won aga-a-a-in

G      C/G      F      Am
Cruel nature has won again
[Outro] G C/G F Am
