Chords

[Intro] G D Em Em D Dsus2 C C [Verse]
    G          D
The yellow sun

         Em            Em
Well, it took the hand

     D        Dsus2
Of a country boy

               C          C
To a city in a far-off land

   G           D
We made no mark

     Em        Em
No shadow at all

        D               Dsus2
On the ancient, holy streets

         C              C
Where I learned to crawl
[CODA]
     A      G         C     F
The broke    and the bruised

                  C
The young and the used

                 G
The sure and confused

     Em
All here
[Chorus]
A
Words will land on me

       A/D
Then abandon me

F#m        E
Mangle, untangle me

D
Leave me on the floor

A
Rhymes, they sprang in me

        A/D
Summer sang in me

    F#m     E          Bm7
But summer sings in me no more
[Verse]
        G         D
Now I'm twenty-five

               Em         Em
And trying to stay alive

     D             Dsus2
In a corner of the world

              C              C
With no clear enemies to fight

     G         D
It's hot as hell

           Em              Em
We're like butter on toast

               D            Dsus2
But there's no army in this world

          C           C
That can fight a ghost
[CODA]
     A      G         C     F
The broke    and the bruised

                  C
The young and the used

                 G
The sure and confused

     Em
All here
[Chorus]
A
Words will land on me

       A/D
Then abandon me

F#m        E
Mangle, untangle me

D
Leave me on the floor

A
Rhymes, they sprang in me

        A/D
Summer sang in me

    F#m     E          Bm7
But summer sings in me no more
[B-PART]
                D7sus2
Listening to the cries

    Em7
Exchangings

     Fmaj7
The silence in the foreign ground

                 D7sus2
Listening to the thunder

     Em
The sky is strange

  G
Stretched over everyone

                 D7sus2
Listening to the tanks

    Em
The shots come

     Fmaj7
The noise from dusk till dawn

                  D7sus2
Listening to the calls

Em7           A
Shouts, frustration
[Verse]
   G         D
At twenty-one

       Em         Em
I was born a son

    D             Dsus2
And on that day I knew

         C     C
I could kill

     G            D
To protect the ones

       Em         Em
We put bullets in guns

    D          Dsus2
Or anything it takes

          C               C
To take a life until it's still
[Outro] G D Em Em D Dsus2 C C
