intro:  Am x 4 ( fig 1 )

Am (4 x fig 1) 
Moon

C (2 x fig 2)  Em ( 2 x fig 3 )   Am (4 x fig 1) 
How it falls   on the field down  among us

Am (4 x fig 1) 
Rain falls 

C (2 x fig 2)  Em ( 2 x fig 3 )   Am (4 x fig 1) 
on the king    and his men        on the riverbed

Am (4 x fig 1) 
Now

C (2 x fig 2)  Em ( 2 x fig 3 )   Am (4 x fig 1) 
Now we meet    after all          these years

Am -> C ( fig 4 )

C (2 x fig 2)    Em ( 2 x fig 3 )   Am (4 x fig 1)  Am -> C ( fig 4 )
Do you my        king, do you rem - ember me?

C (2 x fig 2)    Em ( 2 x fig 3 )   Am (4 x fig 1)  Am -> C ( fig 4 )
Yeah, I see your face               before me now

C (2 x fig 2)       G ( 2 x fig 5 )        F ( 2 x fig 6 )
And I'm telling you tonight that I know we belong

Am (2 x fig 1)  Am -> C ( fig 4 )
Beyond this life

C (2 x fig 2)         Em ( 2 x fig 3 )               Am (4 x fig 1) 
The war has taken its turn and it ain't ever turning back

I grew to be a man 
A man who grew to be a king
Got a job at the mill
And when the war came
I signed up for you

Every day now
I send a letter to the people back home
Oh, I bet you long for the life that you lived
Me and myself I got nothing to lose but this war
And I'm telling you the war that I fought
It was wrong
And we must die
Well now the shells are hammering down on the riverbed

Drums roll
And we must go
We must go, the enemy is upon us
Rise from your knee
And now, pull to the bridge

Oh, brother don't turn, cause I'm right behind you now
Go on, go on, on up from the riverbed
For I'm telling you the war that I fought
It was wrong
And we must die
It doesn't matter much now anyway
Tonight we unite

Dm ( 4 x fig 7 )
And when we're pushing through, 

                          Am ( 4 x fig 1 )
I turn around one last time

Dm ( 4 x fig 7 )
And through the fire and the rain

                       Am ( 4 x fig 1 )
I see the king's white flag

Em ( 4 x fig 3 )
The king lives on

But everyone

            Am ( 1  x fig 1 )
Everybody dies
