EmAs (022000@1)heavy as a history book can be,

                   EmAnd (022000@1)maybe when the bitterness has gone,
              G (320003@1)                           C (x32010@1)    G (320003@1)   BmThere'll (x24432@1)be sweetness on our tongues once more.

F (133211@1)                        C (x32010@1)        GWe'll (320003@1)soon forget our parents' names,
      F (133211@1)                         C (x32010@1)        GLike (320003@1)dogs will drive the wolves away.
        F (133211@1)                       CAnd (x32010@1)weep with fingertips opposed,
            G (320003@1)                  F (133211@1)         G (320003@1)      FLike (133211@1)a church where nobody congregates.

Am (x02210@1)   F (133211@1)        G (320003@1)         C (x32010@1)  But sweetness sings in the pasture,
Am (x02210@1)   F (133211@1)        G (320003@1)         C (x32010@1)  We throw ourselves on the mercy of the earth.
Am (x02210@1)   F (133211@1)        G (320003@1)         C (x32010@1)  If sand and salt have the answer,
Am (x02210@1)   F (133211@1)        G (320003@1)         C (x32010@1)  Then the act itself will be louder than the word.

Am (x02210@1)         F (133211@1)                G (320003@1)            C (x32010@1)           And I'll be on your side, and I'll be on your side.
Am (x02210@1)         F (133211@1)                G (320003@1)            C (x32010@1)Am (x02210@1)         F (133211@1)                G (320003@1)            C (x32010@1)           And I'll be on your side, and I'll be on your side.
Am (x02210@1)         F (133211@1)                G (320003@1)            C (x32010@1)Am F G C goes on for the rest of the song
