[Chorus]
F C/G
Was it bitter then, with our backs against the wall
G C/G
Were we better men, then we'd ever been before
F C/G
Say if she came again today, would you still answer to the call
G C/G
Tell the truth my friend, don't it matter anymore
[Verse]
F C/G
We were simple men, by her side when she was born
G C/G
It was simple then, like the freedom when you fall
F C/G
We were smaller then you see, but soon we gathered like a storm
G C/G
They don't understand what that thunder meant at all
[Verse]
F C/G
Was he crucified, was he done in by the law
G C/G
Are you satisfied that he'll never ride again
F C/G
Some people say he got away, they say he never died at all
G C/G
If that story's true, does it bother you my friend
[Chorus]
F C/G
Was it bitter then, with our backs against the wall
G C/G
Were we better men, then we'd ever been before
F C/G
Say if she came again today, would you still answer to the call
G C/G
Tell the truth my friend, don't it matter anymore
