[Verse 1]
WhEmen we set out on this journey G/G
There wEmere no doubts in our mindsG/G
We sEmet our eyes to the distanceG/G
We would fEmind what we would find G/G
We tEmook courage from our numbers G/G
What we sEmought we did not fear G/G
G Sometimes we'd glimpse a shadow fDalling
The shAadow would disappear D A
Em But our thoughts kept returning G/G
To somethEming the boy said as we turned to goG/G
G He said you'll never see our faces agDain
You'll be fAood for a carrion crow D A
[Chorus]
G Every stCmaj7ep we took todGay
Our thCmaj7oughts would always strGay
FrCmaj7om the wind on the moor so wBbild
To the wCords of the captain's child
Em Something the bG6oy saGmaj7id
Em Something the bG6oy saGmaj7id
Em Something the bG6oy saGmaj7id
Em Something the bG6oy saGmaj7id
[Verse 2]
Em In the circles we made with our firesG/G
Em We talked of the pale afternoonG/G
Em The clouds were like dark riders G/G
Em Flying on the face of the moon G/G
Em We spoke our fears to the captain G/G
Em And asked what his son could know G/G
G For we would never have marched so fDar
To be fAood for a crow D A
[Pre-Chorus]
G Every stCmaj7ep we took todGay
Our thCmaj7oughts would always strGay
FrCmaj7om the wind on the moor so wBbild
To the wCords of the captain's child

[Verse 3]
Em When I awoke this morning G/G
Em The sun's eye was red as blood G/G
Em The stench of burning corpses G/G
Em Faces in the mud G/G
Em Am I dead or am I living? G/G
Em I'm too afraid to care, I'm too afraid to know G/G
Em I'm too afraid to look behind me G/G
Em At the feast of the crow G/G
[Pre-Chorus]
G We spoke our fears to the cCmaj7aptain
G And asked what his son could knCmaj7ow
G For we would never have marched so fCmaj7ar
To be fBbood C food for a crEmow G/G Em
FG/Good for a crEmow G/G Em
