Homeland

Am         Am


[Verse 1]
      Am/B  C            G       
This is my homeland, the place 
           D      Am
where I was born,
          Am/B  C             G  
And through my childhood, was 
         F       Am
safe and secure,
      Am/B C             G       
Like many children, knew nothing 
     Am
of war,
        Fmaj7                   
We were playing and laughing and 
                      Am
playing,


[Verse 2]
        Am/B   C             G   
Here´s another photograph of 
              D     Am
where we used to live,
          Am/B C       G         
Our house was always a safe place
     F       Am
 to be,
       Am/B  C           G       
But now it´s gone, only rubble 
   Am
and dust,
         Fmaj7
We were hoping and praying and 
hoping,
   C  G         Am       Am
Oooooh, all has gone


[Verse 3]
      Am/B  C            G       
This is my homeland, the place 
           D     Am
where I was born,
        Am/B C         G    
And like my father and his one 
    F      Am
before,
Continues after the ad
            Am/B  C            G 
We´ve raised our families and 
              Am
worked for them all,
         Fmaj7
With our hopes and our dreams

And our hopes and our dreams

[Verse 4]
     A
And then came the thunder and so 
many people running,
         E             
From the cities and the 
             F#m
battlefields,
           Bm
And as the bombs rained down,
        F#m                        
We were hiding from the bullets and
      Esus4   E
 the guns;


[Chorus]
   F#m      E             D      
Oh can you imagine how it has 
      A        D           Esus4  E
been for us to be losing everything?
       F#m         E              
As the world stood still we would 
D       A       D     E         
never know what every day would 
 A  Asus4
bring;
 Asus2 A   Asus4  Asus2 A    
Every day,       every day
Asus4  Asus2  Esus4  E



[Verse 5]
      A
So we came to your country, you were
 there with open arms,
        E                F#m
To give shelter from the storm,
       Bm
We are doctors and lawyers,
    F#m                   Esus4  E
And all of us people like you;


[Chorus]
   F#m      E             D      
Oh can you imagine how it would 
      A          D          Esus4  E
be for you to be losing everything?
       F#m          E              
As the world stood still you would 
D      A        D     E         
never know what every day would 
 A  Asus4
bring,
 Asus2  A  Asus4 Asus2  A  
Every day,     every day,  
Asus4 Asus2 A
      every day

A   Asus4   Asus2   A  x3   A
