Bm   E   A    E    E
Verse 1:
We F#m7knew we faced the power that comes from Emoney
When we Amarched against the Empire's mighty Eschemes
They were F#m7armed with special powers and legisElation
While Awe were armed with F#m7youth and foolish Bdreams
But it F#m7seemed so right in BDerry all that Esummer
When we Atook them on and F#m7built our barriBcades
We were an F#m7army dressed in Bfaded jeans and Esandals
Too Ayoung and full of F#m7pride to feel aBfraid
And we beF#m7lieved in things like Bjustice, truth and Efreedom
And we beAlieved we had a F#m7right to liberBty
And we beF#m7lieved that we could Bbuild a new toEmorrEM7owC#m  
That's how it F#m7seemed to BPeter Pan and EMe.
Repeat Intro
Verse 2:
But we soon learned the truth of street rebellion
As that city crumbled 'round us, stone by stone
Betrayed by those who promised they would help us
Against tanks and troops and guns we stood alone
For revolution is no game for foolish dreamers
For dreamers never know the price that must be paid
And before long we learned all power comes from a rifle
And we learned to bleed and die and be afraid
And soon no one talked of justice truth and freedom
And soon no one gave one damn for liberty
For all we hoped was that we might go on surviving.
We grew up fast young Peter Pan and Me.
Repeat Intro
Verse 3:
Then the Empire dealt us death and fear and prison
There's no mercy from that military machine
So our street kids swopped their faded jeans and sandals
For hoods and guns with loaded magazines
And the years have wrought their cruel retribution
And our brothers and our sisters bear the pain
As both sides strive for their military solution
And the politicians play their murderous games
And among the dead lie justice, truth and freedom
And among the dead lie hope and liberty
So if you care enough to mourn brave new tomorrows
Pull up a chair, join Peter Pan and Me.
