Intro:
D/F#D/F#  Dm/F#  E7sus4E7sus4 E7E7

Verse 1:
      AsusAsus      A augmentedA    C majorC     E MajorE
It's been a brutal existence for most, this far
     FF       C majorC      AsusAsus    Am/D* Am/D
We were clawin' in the dirt, we were dyin' in birth
    G+G           E MajorE    FF   C majorC
We were grindin' grain in the noon day suuuuuun
       G+G        E MajorE       FF       A minorAm
With mad men spitting bloody feathers to appease the demons
D/F#D/F#  Dm/F#  E7sus4E7sus4 E7E7
Oooooooooooooooohhhhhhhhhh


Verse 2:
      AsusAsus     A augmentedA     C majorC     E MajorE
It's been a Godless existence, for some, this far
    FF     C majorC     AsusAsus     Am/D* Am/D
We were breaking bread, in a brotherhood of men
      G+G        E MajorE       FF     C majorC
Now I can't recall a single memory of our universal past
        G+G       E MajorE        FF         A minorAm
And I've never felt a drop of blood fall from beneath my singing axe

D/F#D/F#  Dm/F#  E7sus4E7sus4 E7E7
Oooooooooooooooohhhhhhhhhh


Instrumental:
AsusAsus A augmentedA C majorC E MajorE


Verse 3:
      AsusAsus        A augmentedA    C majorC        E MajorE
It's been a voiceless wilderness for most, of us this far
        FF        C majorC
And there's no prophet on the mount
   AsusAsus          Am/D* Am/D
Whose words won't be drowned out
    G+G        E MajorE       FF       C majorC
By our locust finger's clicking never ending in our laps
     G+G     E MajorE       FF        A minorAm
We traded in divine inheritance to break our pagan masks
     G+G       E MajorE       FF        A minorAm
Are there none who walk among us who remember what we had
