INTRO:  Em   Bm   Em   Bsus4  B  
EmThere's blood in the dust where the Bmcity's heart Cbeats
The Bmchildren play games that they take from the Cstreets
EmHow can you teach when you've so Bmmuch to Clearn
May you Gturn, May you Dturn, May you Bmturn,
May you Cturn, May you Gturn, May you Cturn,
In your Bmgrave, New Cworld
Em Bm Em Bsus4 B
EmThere is hate in your eyes, I have Bmseen it beCfore
BmPlanning destruction behind the locked Cdoor
EmWere you the coward who Bmfired the last Cshot
May you Grot, May you Drot, May you Bmrot,
May you Crot, May you Grot, May you Crot,
In your Bmgrave, New Cworld
Em Bm Em Bsus4 B
EmThere is death in the air, with the Bmlights growing Cdim
All Bmthose who survive, sing a desperate Chymn
EmPray that god grants you one Bmfinal reCquest
May you Grest, May you Drest, May you Bmrest,
May you Crest, May you Grest, May you Crest,
In your Bmgrave, New Cworld
Em Bm Em Bsus4 B
