Strawbs - Beneath The Angry Sky
[Intro]
G D G D Bm D G D Bm D G
[Verse 1]
Em
Warplanes fly in terror waves, orders are withdrawn
Horses rear with nostrils flared, a child is stillborn
Am
All afternoon as hell pours down, families stand like rock
C G
Holding hands in fear and rage, reeling with the shock
[Chorus]
Em C D
Who will answer to themselves
Em D
The simple question why?
Em C D
We must search within ourselves
Em C
Beneath the angry sky
[Verse 2]
Em
Nothing moves, the town lies still behind its ruined face
A single oak defiant in the silent marketplace
Am
A school of shattered lives inside the broken window panes
C G
The hope of all those burned inside is all that still remains
[Chorus]
Em C D
Who will answer to themselves
Em D
The simple question why?
Em C D
We must search within ourselves
Em C
Beneath the angry sky
[Instrumental]
C Am Bm Am Bm
[Bridge]
C Em
A light of hope still burns behind a single shuttered door
Am C D
Despite its broken heart, the town is stronger than before
[Chorus]
Em C D
Who will answer to themselves
Em D
The simple question why?
Em C D
We must search within ourselves
Em C
Beneath the angry sky
[Chorus]
Em C D
Who will answer to themselves
Em D
The simple question why?
Em C D
We must search within ourselves
Em C Em
Beneath the angry sky
