[Verse 1]
D                             G
We were young, we were brave, we were true, we were strong
D                                      G
Far away the bombs an' the buildings explodin'
                      G (F#m)
There was no way out
Em            A             D                 G      G (F#m)
It was black, it was white, we had so much to say
Em                    A                 D
Right or wrong... The truth won't fade away


[Verse 2]
D                                    G
We had our hopes, we had our dreams, we were young, we were old
D                                   G
We saw our future self-destructing:
                                 G (F#m)
there were roles that we played
Em              A              D                    G     G (F#m)
Some were good, some were bad: there was so much to say
Em                    A                 D
Right or wrong... The truth won't fade away
