G (320003@1)      DThe (xx0232@1)red hot sun burns up the hill

    em			DThe (xx0232@1)winter's bride, the summer's king

  em		    CI (x32010@1)tramp these acres and I feel

am	    DOnce (xx0232@1)upon a time

G (320003@1)	DAnd (xx0232@1)then it seemed that everything

    em			DYou (xx0232@1)saw and touched and felt was real

    em			   CYou (x32010@1)turned the tap and you turned the wheel

am	  DBreathing (xx0232@1)free


Now you search the open evening sky
Trace the memory in your eyes
For the prophet's hard rain and the deluge
Lie in tears around your door
Once there were trees and livestock here
A mother's love, the warnings clear
But you chose to turn away from fear
Breathing free

Now there's a faceless cross on a distant hill
A wasted voice, a silent scream
Where the lovers love and the dreamers dream
You stand and dream alone
You took your sacrifice to the gods of war
Traded your children's lives for a mess of gold
And you beat your ploughshares into swords
Breathing free


D (xx0232@1) GOnce (320003@1)in a lifetime

    CYou (x32010@1)live and love

	  GOnce (320003@1)in a lifetime

    DYou (xx0232@1)die

	  GOnce (320003@1)in a moment

    CThe (x32010@1)sun goes down
