[slow part]
    DmOh! (xx0231@1)Oliver Boy what did you do?
    AmBut (x02210@1)crush the hand you never shook
     Em (022000@1)                           DmThen (xx0231@1)rob the rights of people to be free
    DmOh! (xx0231@1)Oliver Boy it's a terrible state
    AmYou (x02210@1)left behind a worse off race
      Em (022000@1)                               DmWhere (xx0231@1)dignity and pride fought for their place
    C (x32010@1)            DmOh! (xx0231@1)Oliver Boy now you are gone
    Am (x02210@1)                   DmAnd (xx0231@1)we're still here where we belong
Am (x02210@1)                                        DmForgiveness (xx0231@1)being our strength you'll never see

[slow part over]

DmNow (xx0231@1)the sun shines on this page I write
            AmThough (x02210@1)it's raining hard in Palestine
   EmNo (022000@1)lands are promised lands
             DmWhen (xx0231@1)will we see?
[Dm]
So don't tell me that your God's my God
        AmI (x02210@1)don't think they even care at all
       Em (022000@1)                               DmJust (xx0231@1)a pantomime behind a curtain lies de-ceit

C (x32010@1)          DmOh (xx0231@1)listen to me bark out loud
     Am (x02210@1)            DmWith-out (xx0231@1)a voice and little growl
C (x32010@1)             DmSnapping (xx0231@1)at the heels I wait
AmFor (x02210@1)something more to change
                       Dm[fades (xx0231@1)directly into Chorus]
The more they stay the same

[Chorus 1]
DmOliver (xx0231@1)Boy! It's the same militia
DOliver (xx0232@1)Boy! Just the clothes are different
FOliver (133211@1)Boy! It's the same old story
A (x02220@1)                                   DmWhere (xx0231@1)there's blood there's death not glory

DmLook (xx0231@1)into these empty eyes
AmFed (x02210@1)upon by parasites
Em (022000@1)                              DmAs (xx0231@1)beauty's ugly head devours its plight
[Dm]
While the borders of our hate create
AmNothing (x02210@1)more than each our fate
Em (022000@1)                                DmTrapped (xx0231@1)between our comfort and our crime
   C (x32010@1)             DmSo (xx0231@1)stand along the graveyard wall
    Am (x02210@1)                DmAnd (xx0231@1)watch the souls per-form their song
C (x32010@1)            DmSing (xx0231@1)to us the dead above
       AmAs (x02210@1)the mourners come to pray
                DmThe (xx0231@1)living stay away

[Chorus 2]
DmOliver (xx0231@1)Boy! It's the same militia
DOliver (xx0232@1)Boy! Just the clothes are different
FOliver (133211@1)Boy! It's the same old story
AWhere (x02220@1)there's blood there's death not glory
DmOliver (xx0231@1)Boy! We're all someone's sons
DAll (xx0232@1)of our Boys! Just put down the guns
FOliver (133211@1)Boy! You're dead but listen
A (x02220@1)                               DmYou (xx0231@1)were wrong but we're no diffe-rent

[Solo - not figured out]

Dm (xx0231@1)                    D (xx0232@1)  Marching to the left,  everyone in step
Dm (xx0231@1)name="chord_133211@1">F                         A (x02220@1)    Don't ask the question, why we're here with no direction
Dm (xx0231@1)                     D (xx0232@1)   Marching to the right,  this is not our fight
Dm (xx0231@1)name="chord_133211@1">F                        A (x02220@1)    The curse of friction, born of man and contradiction

[Chorus 2]

DmAll (xx0231@1)of our Boys!

[slow part]

DmNow (xx0231@1)the sun shines on this page I write
            Am (x02210@1)            A (x02220@1)   DmThough (xx0231@1)it's raining hard in Pales-tine

Enjoy!
