[Primera Parte]

       B
I see the distant smoke across the

Waterway
       F#m
I'd swim a thousand miles just to hear

You say
        A
The words that never come when you need

Them most
        E
To dry your eyes out
        B
Is it your mother's tongue? Or your

Father's ghosts?
    F#m
Remember sticks and stones and how they

Broke your bones
     A
Pain is how you learn, boy, you learned

A lot
     E
When they hit you in the face, and you

Begged them all to stop
       B
Until you rose up again
    F#m
And you tried your best to surrender
   A
Bowed down your head
     E
Then you looked up to the sky and said

[Estribillo]

  B
"My God, what a beautiful scene
   F#m
Now I know what you mean, wanna stay

Here forever
A
God, what a beautiful scene
   E
Now I know what you mean, you're my

Gateway to Heaven"

( B  F#m  A  E )

[Segunda Parte]

     B
From underneath the dust, you see the

Curtain call
         F#m
Can't bare to watch another generation

Stall
     A
To the hands of greed that will take it

All
        E
And cut your heart out
     B
See the face in the shadow
    F#m
Just a thread in the seams
      A
We'll be ghosts by tomorrow
    E
Just a day in a dream
      B
But you'll rise up again
      F#m
And you'll fight against the surrender
 A
My friends, don't wait
   E
Just look up to the sky and say

[Estribillo]
