🎸 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
