• Difficulty: Intermediate 💪

Key: Em

Verse 1:
Em
In the dawn's early light
Em
We saw a blinding flame
Am                                  B7
A flash that stole our sight in the sky king
Em
The thunderous roar shattered peace of hope
Cmaj7                 B7
As the bombs began to fall, their deadly story told

Chorus:
    Em                     B7
Oh! sorrow filled land our hearts in despair
      Am             D7/F# G
Where dreams turn to ashes lost in the air
       Em
In the shadow of the mushroom cloud
   B7                      Am
We stand and we weep for a world
        B7                            Em
Once so beautiful now lost and endlessly

Verse 2:
Em
Fields of green now gray
Em
Silent cries we hear
Am                        B7
Echoes of a yesterday now drowned in fear
Em
Children's laughter still beneath the ashen rain
Cmaj7                             B7
Nations built on hope now crumble in the pain

Chorus:
    Em                     B7
Oh! sorrow filled land our hearts in despair
      Am             D7/F# G
Where dreams turn to ashes lost in the air
       Em
In the shadow of the mushroom cloud
   B7                      Am
We stand and we weep for a world
        B7                            Em
Once so beautiful now lost and endlessly

Bridge:
        C        G            B7      Em
Once we stood so proud united hand in hand
       C          G            B7     Em
Now we search the ruins of our refuge land
Em               B7   Em           B7
Brothers sisters gone taken by the fire
Am               B7
Left us with the mournful song of the choir

Chorus:
    Em                     B7
Oh! sorrow filled land our hearts in despair
      Am             D7/F# G
Where dreams turn to ashes lost in the air
       Em
In the shadow of the mushroom cloud
   B7                      Am
We stand and we weep for a world
        B7                            Em
Once so beautiful now lost and endlessly

       Em               B7              Em
May we never forget the cost of our own head
         Cmaj7       B7                        Em
Let this land flow remind as we strive to understand
       B7
In our tears and our prayers
              Em     Cmaj7
May we find a way to build a brighter
B7                    Em
dawn from the darkest days.
