It fell on the fleece

Of the ...Palatine

Chorus 1:
           E MajorE
And every friend of yours
   F# minorF#m    G# minorG#m    *A* Asus4(add9) *A*
Was just as soon a friend of mine
   BB (barre)    A augmentedA (barre)
And we stood, congregated
          E5E5
At the firing line

Verse 2:
E MajorE     D MajorD     F# minorF#m    A augmentedA  Asus2Asus2
No way to control everyone you see

No ties ever holding me down
        D MajorD
Silence would drown (??silenced and drowned??)
 F# minorF#m        A augmentedA   Asus2Asus2  A augmentedA
Everything to be (?)
           E MajorE
There's no skin around the neck

That you could sendddddddd theeeeeeee Frontier
   B(barre)A(barre) E MajorE    A(barre)
If it's no different, I'd stay together
B(barre) A(barre)    E MajorE
Toooooo young, but might roll through the heather

With me  .......vocalizing........:

Chorus2:

Second sun,
       E MajorE
At the firing line

         D MajorD   F# minorF#m  A augmentedA Asus4Asus4 A augmentedA
Now back in our town as a castaway

I'm reminded of the snow,
        D MajorD
How everything flowed (fell?)
  F# minorF#m      A augmentedA Asus4Asus4 A augmentedA
On the Third of May
      E MajorE
As if it were designed
F# minorF#m        G# minorG#m   *A*
Painted in sand and then washed away
 B(barre) A(barre)   E MajorE     A(Barre)
Is it no more than the story you tell?
B(barre) A(barre) E MajorE A(b)
Blind chance and the fighting together
E MajorE    F# minorF#m G# minorG#m  *A* Asus4(add9) *A*
With me .........Vocalizing........:
