[Verse 1]
Am C Em Am
Moon, how it falls on the field down among us
Am C Em Am
Rain falls on the king and his men on the riverbed
Am C Em Am
Now, now we meet after all these years
[Chorus 1]
C Em Am
Do you my king, do you remember me?
C Em Am
Yeah, I see your face before me now
C G F Am
And I'm telling you tonight that I know we belong beyond this life
C Em Am
The war has taken its turn and it ain't ever turning back
[Verse 2]
Am C
I grew to be a man
Em Am
A man who grew to be a king
Am C
Got a job at the mill
Em Am
And when the war came I signed up for you
C Em Am
Every day now I send a letter to the people back home
[Chorus 2]
C Em Am
Oh, I bet you long for the life that you lived
C Em Am
Me and myself I got nothing to lose but this war
C G F
And I'm telling you the war that I fought It was wrong
Am
And we must die
C Em Am
Well now the shells are hammering down on the riverbed
[Interlude]
Em Am
Em Am
[Verse 3]
Am C Em Am
Drums roll and we must go, we must go, the enemy is upon us
Am C Em Am
Rise from your knee and now, pull to the bridge
[Chorus 3]
C Em Am
Oh, brother don't turn, cause I'm right behind you now
C Em Am
Go on, go on, on up from the riverbed
C G F
For I'm telling you the war that I fought It was wrong
Am
And we must die
C Em Am
It doesn't matter much now anyway, tonight we unite
[Coda]
Dm Am
And when we're pushing through, I turn around one last time
Dm Am
And through the fire and the rain I see the king's white flag
Em
The king lives on, but everyone
Am
Everybody dies
