♫ Intro:

G+G E minorEm C majorC D MajorD


♫ Verse 1:
     G+G
Well the work of working people
    E minorEm
Seldom fruits in their own time
    C majorC
So they labor for their children
   D MajorD
With stardust in their eyes
    G+G
Knowing all too well that through their days
     E minorEm
They will never see a time
     C majorC
When the hands that keep them bent and kneeled
   D MajorD
Fall prey to their own lies

♫ Chorus:
    G+G  G/F#  E minorEm
But now some strange notion
  D MajorD
Has taken ahold of us
     A minorAm
It’s the common nation of sorrow
     D MajorD
Hear the boots march through the dust
   C majorC
When so much pain is intertwined
     C majorC
There are none who can tear it down
    D MajorD
You cannot bury those already
E minorEm
Resting beneath the ground


♫ Verse 2:
    G+G
And the tears well up within us
    E minorEm
For the universal truth
     C majorC
That our mothers loved us fiercely
      D MajorD
Though they knew not what to do
  G+G
And with their love, we’ll look around
    E minorEm
We will try to recognize
    C majorC
What it takes to build foundations
     D MajorD
That will stand the test of time

♫ Chorus 2:

    G+G  G/F#  E minorEm
But now some strange notion
   D MajorD
Has taken ahold of us
     A minorAm
It’s the common nation of sorrow
     D MajorD
Hear the boots march through the dust
   C majorC
When so much pain is intertwined
     C majorC
There are none who can tear it down
    D MajorD
You cannot bury those already
E minorEm
Resting beneath the ground

G+G E minorEm C majorC D MajorD (x2)

♫ Verse 3:
   G+G
Well time goes marching on
    E minorEm
Yea the ghost of the living past
    C majorC
But the dead will finally sleep so sweet
     D MajorD
When the people rise at last


♫ Chorus 3:
    G+G  G/F#  E minorEm
But now some strange notion
  D MajorD
Has taken ahold of us
     A minorAm
It’s the common nation of sorrow
     D MajorD
Hear the boots march through the dust

When so much pain is intertwined

There are none who can tear it down
    D MajorD
You cannot bury those already

Resting beneath the ground
