Key: Am

Verse 1:
Am                 G
   You answered the call
           C
Brothers in arms
D
Young men prey to old men’s games
Am               G
   Sent to the war
                  C
To witness death’s dance
   D
In Flanders Fields where youth was slain

Pre-Chorus 1:
Am                             G                  C
   Whistles blown the flesh was thrown towards the wolves
       D
Cut you down from deathly sounds on high
Am           G                                C
   Fields of corn are now just torn and bloody pools
             D
Is where you lay beneath a dark and fading sky

Chorus 1:
Em                    Am            G
   Hear my roar we’re hollow, we’re hollow
Em                    Am            G             F#m6
   Hear my roar we’re hollow, we’re hollow when we hate
       Em
When we hate

Verse 2:
Am            G
   Smiled at a soldier
          C
Lifted his arms
   D
To strike you down on blood stained earth
Am                 G
   As if God had told ya
         C
Don’t be alarmed
     D
Your death is just your second birth

Pre-Chorus 2:
Am             G                             C
   Lay there in that hole the strike it never came
     D
Open eyes to see your enemy just
Am          G                        C
   Standing empty at what both of you became
          D
Before he turned and ran toward the flames

Chorus 2:
Em                    Am           G
   Hear my roar we’re hollow, we’re hollow
Em                    Am           G              F#m6
   Hear my roar we’re hollow, we’re hollow when we hate
       Em
When we hate

Bridge:
C          D Bm7  Em
   Held in Saxon chains
C             D Bm7  Em
   Till the end of days
C               D    Bm7     Em
   Amongst your grandson’s friends
                     C     D
It’s Just a pointless game
                Em
Such a pointless game

Chorus 3:
Em                    Am           G
   Hear my roar we’re hollow, we’re hollow
Em                    Am           G              F#m6
   Hear my roar we’re hollow, we’re hollow when we hate
       Em
When we hate
