I^Bm said 'Hey, hey won't you take me away C^Dos I can't see the point In the dawn of the day S^Go many people gonna take you away T^Bmhey'll leave nothing left except hatred'

S^Bmhe's the goddess of love T^Dhe goddess in green T^Ghe goddess of all That I've ^Bmever seen T^Bmhe goddess of hope T^Dhe goddess in brown T^Ghe goddess of all --- No Chords--- That you've burned to the ground

^BmI said 'Hey, hey won't you take me away C^Dos I can't see the point In the dawn of the day S^Go many people gonna take you away T^Bmhey'll leave nothing left except hatred'

^BmI said 'Hey, hey won't you take me away C^Dos I can't see the point In the dawn of the day S^Go many people gonna take you away T^Bmhey'll leave nothing left except hatred'
