INTRO: D
D
Read about the sorry way he done somebody's daughter
A D
Chained to a heavy thing and threw her in the water
D
And she sank into the darkness with their baby son inside her
A D
A little piece of truth and beauty died
D
Burnin' up the atmosphere and cuttin' down the trees
A D
The billion dollar bombin' of a nation on its knees
D
Anyone not marchin' to their tune they call it treason
A D
Everyone says God is on his side
D G
See the lightnin' hear the cries
A D
Of the wounded of a world in holy war
G
Mortal thunder from the skies
A D
Killin' everything they say they're fightin for
D G
Broken babies, broken homes
A D
Brokenhearted people dyin' everyday
G
How'd this happen, what went wrong
A D
Don't blame God I swear to God I heard Him say
D G
"Not in My name, not on My ground
A D
I want nothin' but the endin' of the war
G
No more killin' or it's over
A D
And the Mystery won't matter anymore"
D G
Broken dreamers, broken rules
A D
Brokenhearted people just like me and you
G
We are children of the stars
A D
Don't blame God I swear to God He's cryin' too
D G
"Not in My name, not on My ground
A D
I want nothin' but the endin' of the war
G
No more killin', or it's over
A D
And the Mystery won't matter anymore"
