[Intro]
Riff #1 x4
[Verse]
(Riff #1)
Under the ruins of a walled city
Crumbling towers in beams of yellow light
No flags of truce, no cries of pity
The siege guns have been pounding all through the night
(Riff #2)
It took a day to build the city
We walked through the streets in the afternoon
(Riff #3)
As I returned across the fields I'd known
I recognized the walls that I once laid
I had to stop in my tracks for fear
(Riff #4)
Of walking on the mines I'd laid
[Chorus]
And Emif I D/F#built this GfortrAm7ess arCounDd yCourD heCart
EnEmcircledD/F# you in trGenchesAm7 and barbed CwirDe C D C
Then Emlet me D/F#build a bGridge,Am7 for I cCannDot CfilDl tChe chasm
And Cm7let me Dm7set the bEbattlemFents on fire
Riff #1 x2
[Verse]
(Riff #1)
Then I went off to fight some battle
That I'd invented inside my head
(Riff #2)
Away so long for years and years
You probably thought or even wished that I was dead
(Riff #3)
While the armies all are sleeping
Beneath the tattered flag we made
I had to stop in my tracks for fear
(Riff #4)
Of walking on the mines I'd laid
[Chorus]
And Emif I D/F#built this GfortrAm7ess arCounDd yCourD heCart
EnEmcircledD/F# you in trGenchesAm7 and barbed CwirDe C D C
Then Emlet me D/F#build a bGridge,Am7 for I cCannDot CfilDl tChe chasm
And Cm7let me Dm7set the bEbattlemFents on fire
Riff #1 x2
[Verse]
(Riff #1)
This prison has now become your home
A sentence you seem prepared to pay
(Riff #2)
It took a day to build the city
We walked through the streets in the afternoon
(Riff #3)
As I returned across the lands I'd known
I recognized the fields where I'd once played
I had to stop in my tracks for fear
(Riff #4)
Of walking on the mines I'd laid
[Chorus]
And Emif I D/F#built this GfortrAm7ess arCounDd yCourD heCart
EnEmcircledD/F# you in trGenchesAm7 and barbed CwirDe C D C
Then Emlet me D/F#build a bGridge,Am7 for I cCannDot CfilDl tChe chasm
And Cm7let me Dm7set the bEbattlemFents on fire
