G5
Summer death, slow step

Walk behind the mother of the thirteen year old brown-eyed boy

Attitudes, attitudes

Sloganized by middle boots

The men who slogged the brown-eyed boy


Bb5           A5          Ab5                    G5
 And it's the end of everything that you've been told about
F5
Decency, honesty
Ab5           G5             F#5               F5                 Eb5
 And it's the end of holding back and breaking bones and building bombs
                        C#5          Ab5          Eb5
And hanging witch-hunts conducted by men of such opinion

G5

Repeat first verse

Bb            A               Ab                G                      F
 And it's the end of building roads to load the dead to someone else's field
Ab            G              F#               F                Eb
 And it's the end of falling back on breaking backs and aching handshakes
                   C#           Ab           Eb
And playing fields conducted by men of such opinion


Bb                           C#
 But the fathers crossed you boys
                           Ab
I fire so heaven knows not only righteous folk
              B                              F#
But righteous taste hold the keys to sitting grace
                     E               B             F#
To conduct and to proclaim decisions made of such opinions

G
(guitar solo)

Bb            A              Ab
 And it's the time of summer days
              G              F
When children sing about the killing fields
Ab      G                  F#                  F
 Winter melts the snow and knees will crack on rock
                Eb
And the iron on earth beneath the dearth bequeathed
C#          F#           Eb9
Penchant by men of such opinion
