[Intro] Em G Am C Em G Am C [Verse 1]
Em
With a shrug of her shoulders

G
The mountain came down

       Am
Tore a path all the way to the water

    C
And through my sleeping town

Em
The trails I'd wandered

G
All erased in the birth

       Am
Of the million year old rock

         C
From the naked gasping earth
[Chorus]
C              D                  Em D
Oh my children where you gonna go

C                   D                    Em   D
Now you’ve lost the land you called your home

         C                 D                Em D/F# G
When the Earth is burning, fever on her brow

       C               D                     Em
Crying oh my children, who will save you now
[Verse 2]
Em
Now the winters hit harder

G
The summers are fire

        Am
And the rains are thе tears of a mother

       C
For her rеbellious reckless child

Em
But still the spring brings clover

G
Amid the blackened oaks

Am
Sprays of fledgling branches

        C
And the wildflowers below
[Chorus]
C              D                  Em D
Oh my children where you gonna go

C                   D                    Em   D
Now you've lost the land you called your home

         C                 D                 Em D/F# G
When the Earth is burning, fever on her brow

       C               D                     Am7
Crying oh my children, who will save you now
[Bridge]
G            C             D        Am7
Farewell the family of the Holocene

G            C                D             Am7
Farewell the fragile air, the sea, the land

G            C                   D                   Am7
Five times before she's seen the rise and fall again

G                  C                        B
But never by their own hand, never by their own
N.C. Oh my children [Solo] Em G Am C Em G Am C [Verse 3]
Em
Chaos was my lover

G
But fate is my bride

        Am
We will meet at the edge of the ocean

        C
And the ever rising tide
[Chorus]
C              D                  Em D
Oh my children where you gonna go

C                   D                    Em   D
Now you’ve lost the land you called your home

C                          D                 Em D/F# G
When the Earth is burning, fever on her brow

       C               D                     Em D
Crying oh my children, who will save you now

C                          D                 Em D/F# G
When the Earth is burning, fever on her brow

       C               D                     Em
Crying oh my children, who will save you now
