C#5               E5
We sent them all across the ocean
     C#5  C#?     A5
Many lives were taken
          E5      G#m2       C#5       A5
Well I didn't cry, I didn't know them
             E5     G#m1       C#5
And I just looked on with no expression


Instrumental:
A | -(b9)-7--6--7--4---7--6-6--4-4---(b9)-7--6--7--4-- | 


C#5                E5
This land was once a home
             C#5      C#5
Of friends and family
 A5
We used to know
     E5              G#m2
They are all gone now
            C#5    A5
They are now gone
       E5      G#m1     C#5     C#?
And for what I cannot tell

   A5                       E5
Put down your banners and flowers
        G#m2               C#5
This war you've made won't last
A5                         E5
Your country, just lines on a map
        G#m2                  A5                  A5                
They're drawn up, they don't last       mmmmh mmmmh mmmmmmmh

Instrumental:    E      G#m1     C#m     G#m1

   E5
The paper cities burning
    G#m1
The ashes fell like rain
    C#5
But when the fire was over
  G#m1
Everything had changed

E5
The people come together
G#m1                                  C#m         G#m1
Reminds us we're the same     

A5                   E5
Put down banners and flowers
     G#m2                   C#5
This war you've made won't last
A5                            E5
Your country, just lines on a map
         G#m2                      A5             A5             E5
They're' drawn up, but they don't last     mmmh mmmh mmh
