                     E       F#
These mist covered mountains
                 B   Bsus4  B
Are home now for me
        D#m( A )      G#m     D#m
But my home is the low lands
                E       F#sus4  F#
And always will be
                G#m     D#m
Someday you'll return to 
                      E      C#m7   F#sus4
Your valley and your farms
           F#        G#m
And you'll no longer burn
      E         F#sus4   F#
To brothers in arms

--------------------------
                D#m( A )    E       F#
Through these fields of destruction
             B   Bsus4 B
Baptisms of fire
      D#m( A )            G#m      D#m
I've watched all your suffering
                      E       F#sus4   F#
As the battles raged higher
                    G#m         D#m
And though they did hurt me so bad
                  E     C#m     F#sus4
In the fear and alarm
    F#       G#m
You did not desert me
      E        F#
My brothers in arms

-------------------------
G#m        F#              G#m          F#
There's so many different worlds
   B               E     
So many different suns
    F#               G#m      F#
And we have just one world
        B             E      E
But we live in different ones

        D#m( A )        E      F#
Now the sun's gone to hell
                       B   Bsus4   B    
And the moon's riding high
        D#m( A )      G#m    D#m
Let me bid your farewell
                 E
Everyman has to die
                         G#m      D#m
But its written in the starlight
                        E    C#m    F#sus4
ANd every line on your palm
        F#           G#m
We're fools to make war
        E           F#
On our brothers in arms
