This song is played in a "dropped" tuning
(DGCFAD, instead of EADGBE). However,
the chords I have listed are those that
would be played as if there was no dropped tuning.
Thus, an Am as I have it written is really a
Gm I guess. But it's a lot easier to play it
in the dropped tuning.
I can't remember the name of one chord - it's A something.
I have it listed as A??, but it's really just 003210
(it's that chord from My My Hey Hey)
Am F
Children
Are lost in the sand clearing roads with little hands
C E Am FTrying to join their father's castles together again
C G Am FWill they make it? Who knows where or when
Old wounds will mend
Shots
C G Am FRinging all along the borders can be heard
C E Am FComin' down like a venom in the sky
Cutting through the air faster than a bird
Gin the night
Am F
Machines
C G Am FAre winding their way along, looking strong
Building roads and bringing back loads
C G Am Fof building materials
Gin the night
Am F
Men
C G Am FAre trying to move the boulders on the ground
lines between the different spots that each has found
C G Am Fbut back home another scene was going down
Gin the night
Am F
Lust
Comes creepin' through the night to feed on hearts
C E Am Fof suburban wives who learned to pretend
C G Am Fwhen they met their dreams end
in the night
Am G A??
But I'll never use your love you know I'm not like that
Am G A??
and so if you give your heart to me
Dm E7I promise to you
Dm E7whatever we do
A?? G C A?? C A??
that I will always be true
Am F
Children
Are lost in the sand clearing roads with little hands
C E Am FTrying to join their father's castles together again
C G Am FWill they make it? Who knows where or when
Old wounds will mend
