Chords with lyrics
🎸 Verse:
G Bm
As we all marched a-head
Em Bm
In the early hours it be-gan
Em D
Letter in my po-cket still unread
G Bm
The fire lit, the sky went red
Em Bm
As we drew near the smell of death
Em D G
Treading through the heavy silence left
🎸 Chorus:
C G Em Bm
I told myself I'd never lift a hand in hatred
Am G
I was wrong
C G Em Bm
Torn up, reborn the way they made me
Am D
It's not long now
🎸 Verse:
G Bm
I tried in vain to look away
Em Bm
From the tragic sight of what remained
Em D G
Wiped off the atlas, our birth place
G Bm
Those of us who still survived
Em Bm
Took to the hills before they came
Em D
Me, my knife, and my rifle sat in wait
🎸 Chorus:
C G Em Bm
I told myself I'd never lift a hand in hatred
Am G
I was wrong
C G Em Bm
Torn up, reborn the way they made me
Am D
It's not long now
🎸 Bridge:
C G
My love letter folded out
Em Bm
My last chance I did it now
Em Bm G
I began to hear her read aloud
G Bm
"don't you fill your heart with hate
Em C
No matter what this world will take
Am D G
Our love must not be disgraced "
🎸 Chorus:
C G Em Bm
I told myself I'd never lift a hand in hatred
Am G
You were right
C G Em Bm
Torn up, reborn the way they made me
Am D G
It's not long now, It’s not long now
