Hi, this is my first tab so sorry if it's a little basic.
This is to be played with a capo on the 3rd fret, mostly open chords. For example, The
chord (C minor) is played as an A minor shape. The Last chorus however, is bar chords.
Intro:
Cmin, D#maj7th, G#, D#/D#maj7th

Verse 1
Cmin (x3133x@1)                D#maj7th
Running as fast as I can
G# (xx1114@1)                  D# (x43121@3)D#maj7th
Can't even see where I am now
Cmin (x3133x@1)                 D#maj7th
Over the soldiers and sand
G# (xx1114@1)                     D# (x43121@3)D#maj7th
This wasn't part of the plan

Pre Chorus:
G# (xx1114@1)              D#I (x43121@3)never see the dawn
Cmin (x3133x@1)              D# (x43121@3) D#maj7th
Although I know it comes

Chorus 1:
A# (x1333x@1)            Cmin (x3133x@1)          G#If (xx1114@1)I ever see blue skies in my town
G#You (xx1114@1)know I'll kiss the
D# (x43121@3)       D#maj7th
ground we walk on
A# (x1333x@1)             Cmin (x3133x@1)          G#If (xx1114@1)I ever watch fire flies all around
                   D# (x43121@3)   D#maj7th
Shining like the stars above them
    G# (xx1114@1)                  CminThe (x3133x@1)bullets fly over my head
G# (xx1114@1)                         D# (x43121@3)  A#Just (x1333x@1)like the words that you said, son,

Over the border there's no bombs
Cmin (x3133x@1)                   D#maj7th
Falling on soldiers and sand

holding their hearts in their hands
