Verse
G
Must it take a life for hateful eyes
Em
To glisten once again
C
Five hundred years like Gelignite
EmD
Have blown us all to hell
G
What savior rests while on his cross we die
Em
Forgotten freedom burns
C
Has the Shepard led his lambs astray
EmD
To the bigot and the gun
Chorus
CG
Must it take a life for hateful eyes
CD
To glisten once again
GCEm
Cause we find ourselves in the same old mess
GDG
Singin drunken lullabies
Bridge
CDG
Ah, but maybe it's the way we're taught
CDG
Or maybe it's the way we fought
CDGC
But a smile never grins without tears to begin
DG
For each kiss is a cry we all lost
CG
Though nothing is left to gain
CD
But for the banshee that stole the grave
GCEm
Cause we find ourselves in the same old mess
GDG
Singin drunken lullabies
