Em                 D
Run they said to a promised land
Em                 D
Run and find us a helping hand
Em                       A
Don't come back till the sun is gone
Em                       A
Don't come back till the war is won
Em                       D
We all set out with our hearts in hand
Em                       D
A cold wind covered up a line in the sand
Em             A
All so young nothing to lose
Em                    A
Pieces of silver and a dead mans shoes

    D                       C#
And oh do you know what I'm saying
                   D
Strike a light to guide us
     A
Somewhere

Em                 D
Tempest swells our worlds collide
Em                        D
Arrows from above and the salt in our eyes
Em              A
Then as the sky began to bruise
Em                          A
We all sought shelter from the breaking news

D              C#
Oh did I ever show you
                 D                        A
All the great memorials, all the factory floors?
    D                          C#
And oh though you know I don't know you
           D
Now that we're here
                 A
Let's make them proud

G              C            G            C
On and on and on and on and on and on we go
G               C
Traipsing over bridges
      G            C
Over corpses down below
     G                C
And all the while we could have smiled
    G                 C
For one thing on our minds
     G               C
The very thing you strive for
         G                   F#
Is the thing that makes you blind

Em                 D
Run they said to a promised land
Em                 D
Run and find us a helping hand
Em                       A
Don't come back till the sun is gone
Em                       A
Don't come back till the war is won
Em              D
Tempest high, stories tall
Em                    D
Thought that we'd learnt nothing at all
Em              A
Then at last the day was saved
Em                         A
With flowers borrowed from a dead friends grave

     D                     C#
And oh even still I don't know you
            D
Maybe I'll show you
                   A
If you've eyes to see

Em A Em A
Em A Em A
Em          A
And so farewell
Em          A
And so farewell
Em          A
And so farewell
Em          A       Em
And so farewell to it
