Verse 1:
      Dm          C
We're living underneath 
    A/C#    Dm
the land of sorrow
Gm             F          A   A/C#
I can hear the bombs rain down
    Dm         C
And how do I explain 
        A/C# Dm
there's no tomorrow
Gm           F      A    A/C#
I can hardly make a sound

Gm - Dm - Bb - F-

Gm
  Dead silence
Dm
  I think we can't
           Bb
escape Til death
Do us part
       A  A/C#
In the end


Verse 2:
        Dm
They're marching
       C
up the main street
A/C#  Dm
As my heart beats
Gm            F         A   A/C#
Louder then machine gun fire
    Dm
The sound of all the
C      A/C#      Dm
sirens sing like violins
Gm           F       A   A/C#
Rattling the coil of wire
  Dm                 C
I heard the soldiers say
       A/C#          Dm
"don't let them get away"
    Gm            F
But I could not escape
      A              A/C#
their bullets and grenades
  Dm          C
A casualty of war
  A/C#         Dm
A victim of mistake
 Gm           F        C   Dm
Another widow has been made


Chorus 2:
Gm
  Dead silence
Dm
  Will come to
rescue me
Bb
  When violence
F
  Has took this 
world away
Gm
  Dead silence
Dm
  I think we
can't escape
    Bb
Til death
Do us part
       A  A/C#
In the end


Chorus 3:
Gm
  Dead silence
Dm
  Will come to
rescue me
Bb
  When violence
F
  Has took this 
world away
Gm
  Dead silence
Dm
  No time to be afraid
   Bb
My love I will
         A   A/C#
see You again

Bridge:
    Dm            Am
Fly away like the wind
     Bb                  F
Some things God can't forgive
       Gm         Dm
Why is war just a fight
          Bb       A
While the innocent die
         Dm       Am
They can tear us apart
           Bb           F
I'll still live in your heart
         Gm          Dm
If your spirit gives up
         Bb          A   Bb - F - Bb - F
Don't surrender your love
        Bb            F
And the world will survive
       Bb           F
If we stand side by side
        Bb          F
One day hope will arrive
      Bb           A
Now I must say goodbye


(Repeat Chorus 2)
