Verse 1:
Am                 C
Water was running; children were running
F                D
You were running out of time
Am                  C
Under the mountain, a golden fountain
F                       D
Were you praying at the Lares shrine?

Chorus:
    Am C             F            D
But oh oh your city lies in dust, my friend
Am C             F            D 
oh oh your city lies in dust, my friend
Am  C  F  D
 
Verse 2:
Am                 C
We found you hiding we found you lying
F              D
Choking on the dirt and sand
Am                  C 
Your former glories and all the stories
F                       D
Dragged and washed with eager hands
 
Chorus:
    Am C             F            D
But oh oh your city lies in dust, my friend
Am C             F          D 
oh oh your city lies in dust,
 Am          C          F             D
my friend    your city lies in dust

Verse 3:
Am               C
Hot and burning in your nostrils
F                 D
Pouring down your gaping mouth
Am                 C
Your molten bodies blanket of cinders
F                     A
Caught in the throes ..And.....

Wo Oh Oh your city lies in dust, my friend
Am C             F            D 
oh oh your city lies in dust, my friend
Am C             F             D
Oh Oh your city lies in dust, my friend
Am C             F            D 
oh oh your city lies in dust, my friend
Am C             F             D
Oh Oh your city lies in dust, my friend
Am C             F            D 
oh oh your city lies in dust, my friend
