Em7 
And his  
A 
head is aching
Em7 
And his  
A 
God is waiting
Em7

We  
D 
lay in your  
D7 
bed in the  
G 
hot 
 
after
Gm 
noons
 
And we  
D 
argued 
 
a
D7 
bout how little  
G 
money we  
Gm 
had

Life in the  
D7 
dark,

Our own language, our own lot, our own fears and our own gods

Our freedom and the right to do  
F#m/G 
as we please with the likes of you
VERSE 3
 
Em7 
And I  
A 
try to laugh at them
Em7 
And they  
A 
smack me on the face
Em7 
And they  
A 
push us through the fields
Em7 
Saying 
 
“
A 
Love your enemies”
 
Em7 
Give them everything,  
A 
give them everything
Em7 
It’s too late (ha ha),  
A 
blood begins to flow
 
Em7 
And this is  
A 
all we’ll ever be
Em7 
And this is  
A 
all they’ll ever be
 
They  
D 
own all that  
D7 
stands and the re
G 
bellion as  
Gm 
well
 
And it  
D 
fills them with  
D7 
joy just to  
G 
see us this  
Gm 
way
 
And  
D 
taking each  
D7 
step just to  
G 
take the next  
Gm 
breath
 
And  
D 
taking each  
D7 
breath just to  
G 
take the next  
Gm 
step
SPOKEN

The sun spun past as I swung from the trees

OUTRO/FADE
 
Em7 
 
A 
 
Take  
Em7 
everything you  
A 
own
 
And make it  
Em7 
into a neat  
A 
pile
 
Set  
Em7 
fire to it,  
A 
burn it all
Em7 
See what your love can do,  
A 
say:
 
“Oh, look what my  
Em7 
love 
 
did”
 
The  
A 
power of love
 
The  
Em7 
power of love  
A 
 
The  
Em7 
power of love  
A
