Verse
G
Must it take a life for hateful eyes
Emin
To glisten once again
C
Five hundred years like Gelignite
Emin D
Have blown us all to hell
G
What savior rests while on his cross we die
Emin
Forgotten freedom burns
C
Has the Shepard led his lambs astray
Emin D
To the bigot and the gun
Chorus
C G
Must it take a life for hateful eyes
C D
To glisten once again
G C Emin
Cause we find ourselves in the same old mess
G D G
Singin drunken lullabies
Bridge
C D G
Ah, but maybe it`s the way we`re taught
C D G
Or maybe it`s the way we fought
C D G C
But a smile never grins without tears to begin
D G
For each kiss is a cry we all lost
C G
Though nothing is left to gain
C D
But for the banshee that stole the grave
G C Emin
Cause we find ourselves in the same old mess
G D G
Singin drunken lullabies
