Day Before We Went To War

         Dm
All the pictures on the wall
     C
The sand lying on the floor
             Dm
The bed upstairs, still unmade
     Dm
The dust float in the light
     C
The people just left
      Bm
All laughter and mess
    Am
Forgetting this and that
            Gm     F C
And rushing back

     Dm
The front door open
     Dm                         Dm
The music still playing in one room
              Dm
Down the hall
      C                  Dm
And towels on the floor
               Dm
And then it's quiet
          Dm
Just the bees and birds
     C
The summer haze
        Bb             Am
Of the trees, and the air
          Gm F          C
Feeds it all, feeds it all

            Dm
We can all feel it
         C                 Bb
Like a light hand on your back
          Am
Welcoming you
            Dm
We can all feel it
         C                 Bb
Like a light hand on your back
          Am
Welcoming you
    Gm     F       C
The day before we went to war
     C
The day before we went to war
C           Dm
We can all feel it

         Dm
All the parasols and kids at play
     C
The sea so still and calm
Dm
Blue as the cloudless sky
C
Just the gentle hum
        Dm
Of the summer's goings on
Dm
Broken by the sudden rush
         Dm
Of two planes
        C
Flying low and fast
         Bb             Am
Into the sun, into the sun

            Dm
We can all feel it
         C                 Bb
Like a light hand on your back
          Am
Welcoming you
            Dm
We can all feel it
         C                 Bb
Like a light hand on your back
          Am
Welcoming you
    Gm     F       C
The day before we went to war
     C
The day before we went to war
C           Dm
We can all feel it

Dm Dm Dm C  x2
Gm F C

            Dm
We can all feel it
         C                 Bb
Like a light hand on your back
          Am
Welcoming you
            Dm
We can all feel it
         C                 Bb
Like a light hand on your back
          Am
Welcoming you
    Gm     F       C
The day before we went to war
     C
The day before we went to war
