Capo 3

Verse 1:
        Am                   C          G      F
Oh my brave hearts, we must leave this land tomorrow.
          F          Em7   F
We can't live here anymore.
            G                               Am7
And in the quiet hours, we talk before the dawn.

Verse 2: 
        Am                    C        G          F
And the old hearts, they are calling from the shadows.
        F      Em7       F
Telling us we must not go, 
           G                              F
Oh but we cannot fight, the power of the gun,
                  G                           F                    G
To take away our land, they take it from our sons, swear it on my hands.

Chorus:
           C                         G
We will return to run here like the wolf,
                      F                         G
And see the hunter's moon and watch our river flow,
                 Am7
It's not gone forever.

Verse 3:
       Am                   C       G        F
Oh my bold hearts, we will go down to the city.
         F       Em7       F
We will live by city light.
            G                             Am7
But in the darkest hour, keep this fire alive.

Verse 4:
          Am                   C        G        F
We will grow strong, we will bring our wealth together.
        F       Em7       F
Never showing what we have,
              G                                       F
And when the time has come, we'll reach out for the gun.
                 G                     F                    G
Taking back our land, take it for our sons, swear it on my hands.

Chorus:
           C                         G
We will return to run here like the wolf,
                      F                         G
And see the hunter's moon and watch our river flow.
           C                       G
We will return to touch the open sky,
                    F                       G
And see the eagle fly and feel the morning rain.
                 Am7  D  Am7  D  Am7  D  F  G  Am7
It's not gone forever...
