[slow part]
  DmDm
Oh! Oliver Boy what did you do?
  A minorAm
But crush the hand you never shook
   E minorEm               DmDm
Then rob the rights of people to be free
  DmDm
Oh! Oliver Boy it's a terrible state
  A minorAm
You left behind a worse off race
   E minorEm                 DmDm
Where dignity and pride fought for their place
  C majorC       DmDm
Oh! Oliver Boy now you are gone
  A minorAm           DmDm
And we're still here where we belong
A minorAm                     DmDm
Forgiveness being our strength you'll never see

[slow part over]

DmDm
Now the sun shines on this page I write
      A minorAm
Though it's raining hard in Palestine
  E minorEm
No lands are promised lands
       DmDm
When will we see?
[DmDm]
So don't tell me that your God's my God
    A minorAm
I don't think they even care at all
    E minorEm                 DmDm
Just a pantomime behind a curtain lies de-ceit

  C majorC      DmDm
Oh listen to me bark out loud
   A minorAm       DmDm
With-out a voice and little growl
C majorC        DmDm
Snapping at the heels I wait
A minorAm
For something more to change
            DmDm [fades directly into Chorus]
The more they stay the same

[Chorus 1]
DmDm
Oliver Boy! It's the same militia
D MajorD
Oliver Boy! Just the clothes are different
FF
Oliver Boy! It's the same old story
A augmentedA                   DmDm
Where there's blood there's death not glory

DmDm
Look into these empty eyes
A minorAm
Fed upon by parasites
E minorEm                DmDm
As beauty's ugly head devours its plight
[DmDm]
While the borders of our hate create
A minorAm
Nothing more than each our fate
E minorEm                 DmDm
Trapped between our comfort and our crime
  C majorC        DmDm
So stand along the graveyard wall
  A minorAm         DmDm
And watch the souls per-form their song
C majorC       DmDm
Sing to us the dead above
    A minorAm
As the mourners come to pray
        DmDm
The living stay away

[Chorus 2]
DmDm
Oliver Boy! It's the same militia
D MajorD
Oliver Boy! Just the clothes are different
FF
Oliver Boy! It's the same old story
A augmentedA
Where there's blood there's death not glory
DmDm
Oliver Boy! We're all someone's sons
D MajorD
All of our Boys! Just put down the guns
FF
Oliver Boy! You're dead but listen
A augmentedA                 DmDm
You were wrong but we're no diffe-rent

[Solo - not figured out]

DmDm           D MajorD
  Marching to the left, everyone in step
DmDm FF             A augmentedA
   Don't ask the question, why we're here with no direction
DmDm            D MajorD
  Marching to the right, this is not our fight
DmDm FF            A augmentedA
   The curse of friction, born of man and contradiction

[Chorus 2]

DmDm
All of our Boys!

[slow part]

DmDm
Now the sun shines on this page I write
      A minorAm       A augmentedA   DmDm
Though it's raining hard in Pales-tine
