The G/Acolors flew high and they dD/Eanced in the sky Em/F#m C/D As I watched them come over the hill G/AThen to my wonder sD/Eticks that made thunder Em/F#m C/D Such a great number lay still
When the light came again There was death on the wind As the buzzards made way for the worms And the little white trees that don't bend in the breeze For the ones that will never return Chorus Those that have fallen, come when I call ‘em And answer the best that they can But all they can see is what they used to be And that's all that they understand Chorus 2X
