Chords

[Verse 1]
    G                 D
The red hot sun burns up the hill

    Em                  D
The winter's bride, the summer's king

  Em                C
I tramp these acres and I feel

Am          D
Once upon a time

    G                   D
And then it seemed that everything

    Em                  D
You saw and touched and felt was real

    Em                     C
You turned the tap and you turned the wheel

Am        D
Breathing free
[Chorus]
D         G
Once in a lifetime

    C
You live and love

          G
Once in a lifetime

    D
You die

          G
Once in a moment

    C
The sun goes down

     Em  D        Em D G
Prot-ect a-nd sur-vi - ve
[Verse 2]
        G               D
Now you search the open evening sky

Em               D
Trace the memory in your eyes

        Em                          C
For the prophet's hard rain and the deluge

       Am                D
Lie in tears around your door

     G                    D
Once there were trees and livestock here

  Em                 D
A mother's love, the warnings clear

        Em             C
But you chose to turn away from fear

Am        D
Breathing free
[Chorus]
D         G
Once in a lifetime

    C
You live and love

          G
Once in a lifetime

    D
You die

          G
Once in a moment

    C
The sun goes down

     Em  D        Em D G
Prot-ect a-nd sur-vi - ve
[Verse 3]
              G                   D
Now there's a faceless cross on a distant hill

  Em              D
A wasted voice, a silent scream

          Em                  C
Where the lovers love and the dreamers dream

    Am               D
You stand and dream alone

              G                D
You took your sacrifice to the gods of war

            Em                     D
Traded your children's lives for a mess of gold

        Em                     C
And you beat your ploughshares into swords

Am        D
Breathing free
[Chorus]
D         G
Once in a lifetime

    C
You live and love

          G
Once in a lifetime

    D
You die

          G
Once in a moment

    C
The sun goes down

     Em  D        Em  D
Prot-ect a-nd sur-vi - ve

     Em  D        Em D G
Prot-ect a-nd sur-vi - ve
