Tuning: G C E A

//Standard Tuning-- GCEA// *Can be easily transposed but the plucking portion is meant to be in the key of C. **You can also substitute any 3's on the C string to a 0 on the A string-- this may help simplify the actual plucking, but it does spread it out across all 4 strings.

^CMust it take a life for hateful eyes ^AmTo glisten once again ^FFive hundred years like Gelignite ^AmHave blown us all to ^Ghell ^CWhat savior rests while on his cross we die ^AmForgotten freedom burns ^FHas the Shepard led his lambs astray ^Amto the bigot and the ^Ggun

^FMust it take a life for hateful ^Ceyes ^FTo glisten once a^Ggain Cause we ^Cfind ours^Felves in the ^Amsame old m^Fess Singin' ^Cdrunken ^Glulla^Cbies

^CI watch and stare as Rosin`s eyes ^AmTurn a darker shade of red ^FAnd the bullet with this sniper lie ^AmIn their bloody gutless ^Gcell ^CMust we starve on crumbs from long ago ^AmThrough these bars of men made steel ^FIs it a great or little thing we fought ^AmKnelt the conscience blessed to ^Gkill

^FMust it take a life for ^Chateful eyes ^FTo glisten once a^Ggain Cause we ^Cfind our^Fselves in the ^Amsame old m^Fess Singin' ^Cdrunken ^Glulla^Cbies

Ah, but ^Fmaybe it`s the ^Gway we're ^Ctaught Or ^Fmaybe it`s the ^Gway we ^Cfought But a ^Fsmile never ^Ggrins without ^Ctears to ^Fbegin For each ^Fkiss is a ^Gcry we all ^Clost Though ^Fnothing left to ^Cgain But for the ^Fbanshee that stole the ^Ggrave Cause we ^Cfind our^Fselves in the ^Amsame old mess Singin' ^Cdrunken ^Glulla^Cbies

^CI sit in and dwell on faces past ^AmLike memories seem to fade ^FNo colour left but black and white ^AmAnd soon will all turn ^Ggrey ^CBut may these shadows rise to walk again ^AmWith lessons truly learnt ^FWhen the blossom flowers in each our hearts ^AmShall beat a new found ^Gflame

^FMust it take a life for ^Chateful eyes ^FTo glisten once a^Ggain Cause we ^Cfind our^Fselves in the ^Amsame old m^Fess Singin' ^Cdrunken ^Glulla^Cbies Cause we ^Cfind our^Fselves in the ^Amsame old m^Fess Singin' ^Cdrunken ^Glulla^Cbies Singin' ^Cdrunken ^Glulla^Cbies
