[Verse 1]
Em G A B
The door slams, dust falls down between the cracks
Em G A B
Some ran, some promised they'd be back
Em G A B
Saigon all gone, ashes to dust,
Em G A
a solo dance, a solo dance
[Chorus]
F#m
And when we leave, we leave our dust,
G
we slap our clothes, we shake it off
F#m
Cambodia, Laos, Vietnam
G
Out of the dust reach tiny hands to touch
A Em
their fathers in other lands
[Instrumental]

[Verse 2]
Em G A B
Love is locked in these lost eyes,
Em G A B
love is lost in these cold eyes
Em G A B
And in these wounds too raw to touch, lie
Em G A
ashes ashes, dust to dust
[Chorus]
F#m
And when we leave, we leave our dust,
G
we slap our clothes, we shake it off
F#m
Cambodia, Laos, Vietnam
G
Out of the dust reach tiny hands to touch
A Bm
their fathers in other lands
G A Bm
[Bridge]
A Em
We are free, we are not alone,
F#m G
listen to our sound
F#m G
Take these hands of flesh and bone,
C D Em
reaching out for love
[Verse 3]
Em G A B
Discards settle where they must,
Em G A B
never knowing who to trust
Em G A B
And in these dreams that lie in rust,
Em G A
ashes ashes, dust to dust
[Chorus]
F#m
And when we leave, we leave our dust,
G
we slap our clothes, we shake it off
F#m
Cambodia, Laos, Vietnam
G
Out of the dust reach tiny hands to touch
A Em
their fathers in other lands
