 Bm                                D
Few of the sins of the father are visited upon the son,
 A/E                    A/E                           E
Hearts have been hard, hands have been clenched into fists too long.
     Bm                               D
Our sons need never be soldiers, our daughters will never need guns,
 A/E                          A/E                           E
These are the years between, these are the years that were hard fought and won.
      Bm                               D
Now, contracts torn at the edges, old signatures stained with tears,
 A/E                       A/E                   E
Seasons of war and grace, these should not be forgotten years.
           Bm                    Bm
Still it aches like tetanus, it reeks of politics,
 A                 G    D/F#                  A
How many dreams remain, this is a feeling too strong to contain.

     D                   Bm
The hardest years, the darkest years,
     G                  A
the roaring years, the fallen years.
D    Bm       A
              These should not be forgotten years.
     D                  Bm
The hardest years, the wildest years,
     G             F#m
the desperate and divided years
Em   Bm           A
       We will remember
                 (These should not be forgotten years).

      Bm                               D
Our shoreline was never invaded, our country was never in flames,
 A/E                         A/E                   E
This is the calm we breathe, this is a feeling too strong to contain.
          Bm                     Bm
Still it aches like tetanus, it reeks of politics,
 A                       G     D/F#                    A
Signatures stained with tears. Who can remember? We've got to remember!

        Who needs your ma to sing to you now.

the desperate and divided years
