CAPO: 3rd Fret
[Intro]
Am Em Am G
[Verse 1]
It was Amseven months since 9/11
And the Emwork was almost done Am
It was seven months since 9/11
And the Gwork had just begun
Ground FZero lit the evening sky
Like a Emdagger through the heart
The Fsearchlights drove through heaven's gates
And Gblew them far apart
[Verse 2]
A Amfew miles north on the Hudson River
We had Emgathered for a sort of wake Am
Nobody felt like celebrating
But the GFiremen needed a break
They'd Fbeen to so many funerals
And seen Emso many terrible sights
FBeen to Ground Zero from dawn to dusk
And Ground the clock some nights C
[Chorus]
From Kingdom come F
To hell and gone C
To somewhere far aFway Am
Where Gmurder does not Fbreak the Emheart
On a Dsunny day Am Em Am G
[Verse 3]
I was Amall dressed up like the rest of the gang
At the EmRoxy Club that night Am
The men and women in uniform
GTried hard to keep it light F
Kevin Bacon played and sang
And Emfolks began to smile F
Chris Botti played his silver horn G
With rhythm and with style
[Verse 4]
IAm sang the song 'Amazing Grace'
EmAnd people hugged and cried Am
Ronan Tynan sang 'Danny Boy'
G f
And not an eye was dry
Steve Buscemi spoke of life
At EmEngine 55
Of Fhow those firemen stayed the course
And Gsaved so many lives C
[Chorus]
From Kingdom come F
To hell and gone C
To somewhere far aFway Am
Where Gmurder does not Fbreak the Emheart
On a Dsunny day
[Interlude]
Am Em Am G Am Em Am G
[Verse 5]
A Amburly man with a handsome face
Stuck Emout his hand and smiled Am
"Say, meet my wife, we like your songs G
We've been with you mile for mile" F
Though he had a rugged face
I Emthought I saw the hurt
FThen he pointed to a spot
Above the Gcollar of his shirt
[Verse 6]
"Ah, Amjust look there on the back of my neck
There's a Emtattoo, can you see?
AmJust right there", I got up close
And saw the Gnumber 343 F
The number of those heroes
Who were Emlost on that black day F
The number of those firemen
Ground GZero was their grave C
[Chorus]
From Kingdom come F
To hell and gone C
To somewhere far aFway Am
Where Gmurder does not Fbreak the Emheart
On a Dsunny day Am Em Am G
[Verse 7]
Those Amfiremen loaded up with gear
Climbed Emto their deaths that day Am
Along with all the other hundreds
GBlasted on their way
FPolice and EMS and those
On Emwhom death took its toll
And Fmore whose dreams will never dawn
GMore than three thousand souls Am
[Verse 8]
I left the party after that Em
I couldn't stay my tears Am
For all our gifts for all our hopes
For Gall our nameless fears F
For all our heroes, men and women
EmLost on that black day
The Ffiremen with their courage
In their Ghearts so strong and brave F
Who made sure in their final hour G
There were twenty thousand saved C
[Bridge]
They've gone to where F
There are no tears C
And every heart is Fgay Am
They will not Gbe forFgotten Em
On a Dsunny day C
[Chorus]
From Kingdom come F
To hell and gone C
To somewhere far aFway Am
Where Gmurder does not Fbreak the Emheart
On a Dsunny day Am
Where Gwe can live in Fpeace all aEmgain D
On a sunny day_____
