Are a home now for [B]me [E] [B]
But my home is the [G#m]lowl[D#m]ands
And always will [E]be[F#]
Some day you'll re[G#m]turn [D#m]to

[G#m]Through these fields of de[E]struc[F#]tion
Baptisms of fire[B] [E] [B]
I've witnessed your su[G#m][D#m]ffering
As the battles raged [E]higher[F#]
And though they did hurt [G#m]me so [D#m]bad
In the fear and [E]alarm [F#]
You did not de[G#m]sert me
My [E]brothers in [F#]arms [G#m] [E] [F#]
[Verse 3]
[G#m]There's so [F#]many different [G#m]worlds[F#]
So many different [E]suns [F#]
[G#m]And we have [F#]just one [G#m]world [F#]
But we live in different [E]ones[F#] [E]
[Verse 4]
[G#m]Now the sun's gone to [E]hell [F#]
And the moon's riding [B]high [E] [B]
Let me bid you [G#m]fare[D#m]well
Every man has to [E]die [F#]
But it's written in the [G#m]star[D#m]light
And every line on your [E]palm [F#]
We're fools to make [G#m]war
On our [E]brothers in [F#]arms

[Dmaj7] The sacred [C#m]geometry of [Bm]chance[C#7]
[Dmaj7] The hidden law of a [A]probable [C#7]outcome

[Dmaj7] I'm not a man of [A]too many [C#7]faces
