  D2
Underneath a burning sky
   G+G       D2
the tenants of the fire

sit in silence as they ponder

survival in the wild

     D2
With our love to keep us up
     G+G       G/F#
there is nothing in the world
         E-
that can knock us down
    D2
we can take whatever comes
    G+G       G/F#
if we face it hand in hand
         E-     A augmentedA
we can stand our ground


    F#-         G+G
Just a couple of kids with clouds in our heads
     E-            A augmentedA       A7A7
trying to swim upstream; trying to make it good
    F#-          G+G
but it happened so fast; when disaster came
    E-             A augmentedA       A7A7
that a river of teardrops couldn't wash it away

     D2
How do we now view ourselves,
    G+G       G/F#      E-
sitting victims in a shelter needing help?
     D2
How do we now regain control
     G+G       G/F#      E-   A augmentedA
over the remnants of our life without a home?


   F#-            G+G
If a bomb had hit us, nothing less would remain
   E-           A augmentedA          A7A7
not a wall to lean on; not a fork or a plate
    F#-              G+G
but at least we made it out and we're still alive
      E-           A augmentedA           A7A7
and we're starting over now in the middle of the night

As always, fell free to make this tab better.
This is one of the most "indian" song in "Here"...as the title track, almost
impossible to re-write.
I love the vocal line, and the way Adrian sings.
Simply amazing.
Thank you Ade.
