[Verse 1]

 Bm                              
Few of the sins of the father are 
  D
visited upon the son,
 A/E                    A/E       
Hearts have been hard, hands have 
                    E
been clenched into fists too long.
     Bm                            
Our sons need never be soldiers, 
   D
our daughters will never need guns,
 A/E                          A/E 
These are the years between, these
                          E
 are the years that were hard fought
 and won.
      Bm                         
Now, contracts torn at the edges, 
      D
old signatures stained with tears,
 A/E                       A/E
Seasons of war and grace, these 
                   E
should not be forgotten years.
           Bm                  
Still it aches like tetanus, it 
  Bm
reeks of politics,
 A                 G    D/F#     
How many dreams remain, this is a
             A
 feeling too strong to contain.


[Chorus]

     D                   Bm
The hardest years, the darkest 
years,
     G                  A
the roaring years, the fallen years.
D    Bm       A
              These should not be 
forgotten years.
     D                  Bm
The hardest years, the wildest 
years,
     G             F#m
the desperate and divided years
Em   Bm           A
       We will remember

[Verse 2]

      Bm                           
Our shoreline was never invaded, 
    D
our country was never in flames,
 A/E                         A/E  
This is the calm we breathe, this 
                 E
is a feeling too strong to contain.
          Bm                   
Still it aches like tetanus, it 
  Bm
reeks of politics,
 A                       G     
Signatures stained with tears. 
D/F#                    A
Who can remember? We've got to 
remember!


[Chorus]

     D                   Bm
The hardest years, the darkest 
years,
     G                  A
the roaring years, the fallen years.
D    Bm        A
               These should not be 
forgotten years.
     D                  Bm
The hardest years, the wildest 
years,
     G             F#m
the desperate and divided years
Em   Bm          A
       We will remember
                 (These should not 
be forgotten years).

[Chorus]

                D                  
I said it's The hardest years, the 
 Bm
darkest years,
     G                  A
the roaring years, the fallen years.
D    Bm        A
               These should not be 
forgotten years.
     D                  Bm
The hardest years, the wildest 
years,
     G             F#m
the desperate and divided years
Em   Bm          A
       We will remember
                (These should not be
 forgotten years).
     D                   Bm
Forsaken, aching, breaking years,
     G                  A
the time and tested heartbreak 
years.
D    Bm                      A
        Who needs your ma to sing to
 you now.
     D                  Bm
The blinded years, the binded years,
     G             F#m
the desperate and divided years
Em   Bm                     A   
     These should not be 
                  A
forgotten years.
                            (These 
should not be forgotten years).
