Jerome has a sort of sauntering vocal style, so pinning down exactly where the chord changes occur can be a bit
tricky if you're relying solely on this transcription. The chord changes keep easy time, so just focus on that
as your guide and listen to the song if you get really hung up on the timing of the lyrics.
Capo on 3
Intro:
Am Em D
On this Amday all the trees in Rhodesia are aflame
As the eyes of the griever
WitEmh flowers of aching reDplete
And my Ammind's overflowing with vengeance
For to pine is not an occupation but a sentence
And iEmn time we will all be faking reDtreat
Have youAm got rid of it yet?
This faith corroded with neglect
Em Can we ever hide the Dhurt?
At least aAmt night the harvest sun's yoke
Is rising like rebel smoke
Em Beyond the oceans in Dswirls
And it will Amshame us now
And it will Cshame us Gstill
And it will Amshame us now
And it will Cshame us Gstill
Am [for 4 beats]
What a hoAmllow promise from hollow men
What a shallEmow grave for shallow Dmen
You're the bull that Ampaws the earth
The leopard that teaches to run
You're the Emcrocodile that eats the sunD
So we wAmalk on through and beyond
Em The failures of Dmen
And we Amknow there's a void at the center
Em of everyDthing
And it will Amshame us now
And it will Cshame us Gstill
And it will Amshame us now
And it will Cshame us Gstill
[play that last part again, but peppered with the following lyrics and play until end]
It was wrong to come here
I was wrong to come here
