It all started on a day like any other
     D MajorD     E MajorE      G+G
All the salmon had swum to the sea

With a heart that she'd taken from me

And as he looked up at me, with those wondering eyes

I just knew that I must protect him with my life

And make a land that is good

Through the wind and the rain and the snow
    E minorEm             G+G

So I summoned my men to my side
     D MajorD    C majorC    G+G
And we sung a familiar tune
    D MajorD    E minorEm             G+G

To our past as we started anew

To the land that we carved for a home

Verse 3:
     D MajorD        G+G        D MajorD
Oh, the dawn of the day set our country aflame
         A augmentedA     B minorBm
As the sun rose bloody and true
     A augmentedA         D MajorD      G+G
Arrows burned through the skies, as we swallowed our pride
           A augmentedA    D MajorD BB
And we ran with our backs to the moon

To our demise...
     D MajorD
From a friend full of lies...

Oh, the break of the day shed it's light
     D MajorD      E MajorE   G minorGm
On our hearts left battered and bruised

All the hopes that we'd laid, on the home that we made
     D MajorD     G+G      D MajorD
Torn to pieces and left in the blue...
       C majorC      G+G
But my friend with an angry cry
    D MajorD        G+G
Held the weight of our world at his side
    D MajorD     G+G       D MajorD    G+G
Took a trembling stand, with an arrow in hand
             D MajorD
As he muttered a final goodbye...
