Bridge:
   Dm
   Watching the death toll rise 
wondering how I'm alive
             Bb
   Strangers blood on my hands 
showed all I can
   Dm
   There were no sunny nights 
watching your brothers all die
         Bb
   To destroy all their plans with 
no thought of me
   Dm    C             Bb
   No... thought... of me...
   A  Bb      C  Dm
   No thought of me

   We'll walk the city lonely
   Bb                            C
   memories that are not passing by
              Bb         A     
   A murderer walks your streets 
     Dm
tonight
      Bb             C
   Forgive me for my crimes
   Bb       A          Bb        
   Don't forget that I was so

   In the name of God and Country
