VERSE 1
Am                 C
Water was running; children were running 
F                D
You were running out of time 
Am                  C
Under the mountain, a golden fountain 
F                       A 11
Were you praying at the Lares shrine? 
CHORUS
    Am C             F            D
But oh oh your city lies in dust, my friend
Am C             F            A 11 
oh oh your city lies in dust, my friend
Am - C - F - D
( can add ditty here)
 
VERSE 2
Am                 C
We found you hiding we found you lying
F              D
Choking on the dirt and sand
Am                  C 
Your former glories and all the stories
F                       A 11
Dragged and washed with eager hands 
CHORUS
    Am C             F            D
But oh oh your city lies in dust, my friend
Am C             F          A 11 
oh oh your city lies in dust, 
 Am          C          F             A 11
my friend    your city lies in dust

VERSE 3
Am               C
Hot and burning in your nostrils
F                 D
Pouring down your gaping mouth
Am                 C
Your molten bodies blanket of cinders
F                     A 11
Caught in the throes ..And..... 
CHORUS (Ending)
Am    C            F             D
Wo Oh Oh your city lies in dust, my friend

oh oh your city lies in dust, my friend
Am C             F             D
Oh Oh your city lies in dust, my friend
Am C             F            A 11 
oh oh your city lies in dust, my friend
Am C             F             D
Oh Oh your city lies in dust, my friend
Am C             F            A 11 
oh oh your city lies in dust, my friend
