Verse:
D5 E5 D5 C5 D5
I thought i heard something calling me
E5 D5 C5 D5
I’d seen the pictures on TV

Past the place where my friend died two years ago

Verse: As the sun rose on the beanfield
They came like wolf on the fold
And no they didnt give a warning

it seems they were commiting treason
By trying to live on their own
