[Intro] G C G D
G C G D G
[Primeira Parte]
G
Must it take a life
For hateful eyes
Em
To glisten once again
C
Five hundred years
Like gelignite
Em D
Have blown us all to hell
(To hell!)
G
What savior rests while on
His cross we die
Em
Forgotten freedom burns
C
Has the Shepherd led
His lambs astray
Em D
To the bigot and the gun
[Refrão]
C
Must it take a life
G
For hateful eyes
C D
To glisten once again
G C
‘Cause we find ourselves
Bm Em
In the same old mess
G D G
Singin' drunken lullabies
( G C G D )
( G C G D G )
[Segunda Parte]
G
I watch and stare
As Roisin's eyes
Em
Turn a darker shade of red
C
And the bullet with
This sniper lie
Em D
In their bloody gutless cell
G
Must we starve on crumbs
From long ago
Em
Through bars these
Men made steel
C
Is it a great or
Little thing we fought
Em
Knelt the conscience
D
Blessed to kill
[Refrão]
C
Must it take a life
G
For hateful eyes
C D
To glisten once again
G C
‘Cause we find ourselves
Bm Em
In the same old mess
G D G
Singin' drunken lullabies
[Ponte]
C D
Ah, but maybe it's the way
G
We we’re taught
C D
Or maybe it's the way
G
We fought
C D
But a smile never grins
G C
Without tears to begin
D
For each kiss is a cry
G
We all lost
[Pré-Refrão]
C G
Though nothing is left to gain
C
But for the banshee
D
That stole the grave
[Refrão]
G C
‘Cause we find ourselves
Bm Em
In the same old mess
G D G
Singin' drunken lullabies

[Terceira Parte]
G
I sit in and dwell
On faces past
Em
Like memories seem to fade
C
No color left
But black and white
Em D
And soon we'll 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
Em D
Shall beat a new found flame
[Refrão Final]
C
Must it take a life
G
For hateful eyes
C D
To glisten once again

‘Cause we find ourselves
Bm Em
In the same old mess
G D G
Singin' drunken lullabies

‘Cause we find ourselves
Bm Em
In the same old mess

Singin' drunken lullabies
