🤘 Verse 1:
Em
 We buried our sons
  Cmaj7
We turned and fled
Em
 No growing old
   Cmaj7
The glorious dead
Em
 But we came back
    Cmaj7
Because one man said
Em
 Now on the beaches
   Cmaj7
The blood runs red

🤘 Verse 2:
Em
 I faced them down
  Cmaj7
The only one
Em
 I stood alone
   Cmaj7
And warned the day would come
Em
 But they were wrong
  Cmaj7
Appeases every one
Em
 And not for the last time
 Cmaj7
We all stand alone

 I watch the sun move away

We will ovеrcome

One last burning giant

Defend this sacred land
