Verse 1:

E minorEm         D MajorD
Run they said to a promised land
E minorEm         D MajorD
Run and find us a helping hand
E minorEm            A augmentedA
Don't come back till the sun is gone
E minorEm            A augmentedA
Don't come back till the war is won
E minorEm            D MajorD
We all set out with our hearts in hand
E minorEm            D MajorD
A augmentedA cold wind covered up a line in the sand
E minorEm       A augmentedA
All so young nothing to lose
E minorEm          A augmentedA
Pieces of silver and a dead mans shoes

Chorus:

  D MajorD            C#C#
And oh do you know what I'm saying
          D MajorD
Strike a light to guide us
   A augmentedA
Somewhere

Verse 2:

E minorEm         D MajorD
Tempest swells our worlds collide
E minorEm            D MajorD
Arrows from above and the salt in our eyes
E minorEm       A augmentedA
Then as the sky began to bruise
E minorEm             A augmentedA
We all sought shelter from the breaking news

Chorus:

D MajorD       C#C#
Oh did I ever show you
         D MajorD            A augmentedA
All the great memorials, all the factory floors?
  D MajorD             C#C#
And oh though you know I don't know you
      D MajorD
Now that we're here
         A augmentedA
Let's make them proud

Middle 8:

G+G       C majorC      G+G      C majorC
On and on and on and on and on and on we go
G+G        C majorC
Traipsing over bridges
   G+G      C majorC
Over corpses down below
   G+G        C majorC
And all the while we could have smiled
  G+G         C majorC
For one thing on our minds
   G+G        C majorC
The very thing you strive for
     G+G          F#F#
Is the thing that makes you blind

Verse 3:

E minorEm         D MajorD
Run they said to a promised land
E minorEm         D MajorD
Run and find us a helping hand
E minorEm            A augmentedA
Don't come back till the sun is gone
E minorEm            A augmentedA
Don't come back till the war is won
E minorEm       D MajorD
Tempest high, stories tall
E minorEm          D MajorD
Thought that we'd learnt nothing at all
E minorEm       A augmentedA
Then at last the day was saved
E minorEm             A augmentedA
With flowers borrowed from a dead friends grave

Chorus:

   D MajorD           C#C#
And oh even still I don't know you
      D MajorD
Maybe I'll show you
          A augmentedA
If you've eyes to see

And so farewell
E minorEm     A augmentedA
And so farewell
E minorEm     A augmentedA
And so farewell
E minorEm     A augmentedA    E minorEm
And so farewell to it
