Verse
G
Must it take a life for hateful eyes
Em
To glisten once again
C
Five hundred years like Gelignite
EmD
Have blown us all to hell
G
What savior rests while on his cross we die
Em
Forgotten freedom burns
C
Has the Shepard led his lambs astray
EmD
to the bigot and the gun
Chorus
CG
Must it take a life for hateful eyes
CD
To glisten once again
GCEm
Cause we find ourselves in the same old mess
GDG
Singin' drunken lullabies

Verse
G
I watch and stare as Rosin`s eyes
Em
Turn a darker shade of red
C
And the bullet with this sniper lie
EmD
In their bloody gutless cell
G
Must we starve on crumbs from long ago
Em
Through these bars of men made steel
C
Is it a great or little thing we fought
EmD
Knelt the conscience blessed to kill
Chorus
CG
Must it take a life for hateful eyes
CD
To glisten once again
GCEm
Cause we find ourselves in the same old mess
GDG
Singin' drunken lullabies
Bridge
CDG
Ah, but maybe it`s the way we're taught
CDG
Or maybe it`s the way we fought
CDGC
But a smile never grins without tears to begin
CDG
For each kiss is a cry we all lost
CG
Though nothing left to gain
CD
But for the banshee that stole the grave
GCEm
Cause we find ourselves in the same old mess
GDG
Singin' drunken lullabies

Instrumental Chorus

Verse
G
I sit in and dwell on faces past
Em
Like memories seem to fade
C
No colour left but black and white
EmD
And soon will all turn grey
G
But may these shadows rise to walk again
Em
With lessons truly learnt
C
When the blossom flowers in each our hearts
EmD
Shall beat a new found flame
Chorus
CG
Must it take a life for hateful eyes
