Chords with lyrics

Not sure about the second Churchill speech;
it starts off right and then gets muddled behind guitar walls. I tried.

DmDm          Gm/D
Sanctus Espiritus! Redeem us from our solemn hour.

[VERSE 1]
DmDm
  In my darkest hours,
A minorAm
  I could not foresee
G minorGm                   AaugAaug A7A7
  That the tide could turn so fast to this degree.
DmDm
  Can't believe my eyes,
A minorAm
  how can you be so blind?
G minorGm           Dm/A  A augmentedA
  Is the heart of stone   no empathy inside?


[PRE-CHORUS 1]
Bb majorBb
  Time keeps on slipping away
DmDm
  and we haven't learned.
A7A7
  So in the end, now
    Bb majorBb
  what have we gained?

[CHORUS 1]
DmDm          Bb majorBb        FF   C/EC/E
Sanctus Espiritus! Redeem us from our solemn hour.
DmDm    A minorAm     G minorGm    Bb majorBb  A augmentedA
Sanctus Espiritus! Insanity is all around us.
DmDm          Bb majorBb      FF
Sanctus Espiritus! Is this what we deserve,
  C/EC/E   Bb majorBb    C majorC             DmDm
Can we break free from chains of never-ending agony?


[VERSE 2]
DmDm
  Are they themselves to blame,
A minorAm
  the misery, the pain?
G minorGm        Dm/A      C majorC
  Didn't we let go, allowed it, let it grow?
DmDm
  If we can't restrain
A minorAm
  the beast which dwells inside,
G minorGm
  it will find its way
Dm/A    A augmentedA
  somehow, somewhere in time


[PRE-CHORUS 2]
Bb majorBb
  Will we remember all
DmDm
  of the suffering?
A augmentedA
 'Cause if we fail
   Bb majorBb
  it will be in vain.


[CHORUS 2]

Sanctus Espiritus! Insanity is all around us.
DmDm          Bb majorBb      FF
Sanctus Espiritus! Is this what we deserve,
  C/EC/E   Bb majorBb    C majorC             Bb majorBb
Can we break free from chains of never-ending agony?

DmDm
Sanctus Espiritus

("A tremendous battle is raging in France and Flanders.)

DmDm
Sanctus   Espiritus
    The Germans, by a remarkable combination of air bombing and heavily armoured tanks,

DmDm
have broken through the French defenses north of the Maginot Line,
              Bb majorBb                   A minorAm
and strong columns of their armoured vehicles are ravaging the open country,
C majorC          Bb majorBb                C majorC
which for the first day or two was without defenders.
              Bb majorBb                       A augmentedA
They have penetrated deeply and spread alarm and confusion in their track."
