G 
Must it take a life for hateful eyes 
Em   
To glisten once again 
C 
Five hundred years like Gelignite 
Em                   D 
Have blown us all to hell 
G 
What savior rests while on his cross we die 
Em   
Forgotten freedom burns 
C 
Has the Shepard led his lambs astray 
Em                   D 
To the bigot and the gun 


        C               G 
Must it take a life for hateful eyes 
C            D 
To glisten once again
         G       C             Em   
Cause we find ourselves in the same old mess
       G       D    G 
Singing drunken lullabies 

Intro


G
I watch and stare as Rosin?s eyes
Em
Turn a darker shade of red
C
And the bullet with this sniper lie
Em                  D
In their bloody gutless cell
G
Must we starve on crumbs from long ago
Em
Through these bars of men made steel
C
Is it a great or little thing we fought
Em                        D
Knelt the conscience blessed to kill
 
REFR?O


        C              D         G 
Ah, but maybe it's the way we're taught 
   C              D      G 
Or maybe it's the way we fought 
      C           D             G        C 
But a smile never grins without tears to begin 
                   D          G 
For each kiss is a cry we all lost 
       C                  G 
Though nothing is left to gain 
            C                      D 
But for the banshee that stole the grave 
         G       C             Em   
Cause we find ourselves in the same old mess

G
I sit in and dwell on faces past
Em
Like memories seem to fade
C
No color left but black and white
Em                  D
And soon will all turn gray
G
But may these shadows rise to walk again
Em
With lessons truly learnt
C
When the blossom flowers in each our hearts
Em                        D
Shall beat a new found flame
