Intro:
Am F Am F Am
Last nAmight I was wCalking through the hEmarbour,
Where the fDmishing boats were lEmying on the shAmore,
The nCews had travelled fast and everyAmone went to bGe,
Where the mCayor was mEmaking a spFeech,
And the crCowd started cheering,
When he tFalked about the glGory of it allAm,
And the bDmoys coming hGome from the wAmar,
Last nAmight, they were dCancing in the strEmeets,
And making mDmusic in the Emalleyways and bAmars,
From a hCouse down by the old town came the sAmound of guitGars,
MargarCita was wEmaiting insFide,
With her lCong black hair hanging dFown beneath the rGed light,
And shAme smiled, for the bDmoys coming hGome from the wAmar,
The bDmoys coming hGome from the wAmar,F  Am  F  
And they sCaid we were heroes, they sFaid we were fine,
We were kCings in command, we had GFod on our side,
And we said "nCothing will make us chFange in Gany wayAm,F  
Since yesterdayC, we're just the sameF,
Since yesterdayC, nothing has changedF,
Since yesterdayC, we're all the same,F"
But I can feel there's a nCew kind of hunger insGide,
To be satisfFied, GI saw it there last nAmight,F  
Last nAmight I was wCalking through the shEmadows,
Far awDmay from all the mEmusic and the gAmirls,
When I sCaw a soldier waiting with a wAmoman in blGack,
And they stCood withEmout any wFord,
Just stCaring at a photograph of sFomeone, and shGe began to crAmy,
For a bDmoy left behGind in the wAmar,
Some bDmoy left behGind in the wAmar,F  Am  F  
And they sCaid we were heroes, they sFaid we were fine,
We were kCings in command, we had GFod on our side,
And we said "nCothing will make us chFange in Gany wayAm,F  
Since yesterdayC, we're just the sameF,
Since yesterdayC, nothing has changedF,
Since yesterdayC, we're all the same,F"
But I can feel there's this nCew kind of hunger insGide,
To be satisfFied, GI saw it there last nAmight,F  Am  F  
I saw it thGere last nAmight...

Intro:

Am F Am F Am

Am C Em

Last night I was walking through the harbour,

Dm Em Am

Where the fishing boats were lying on the shore,

C Am G

The news had travelled fast and everyone went to be,

C Em F

Where the mayor was making a speech,

And the crowd started cheering,

F G Am

When he talked about the glory of it all,

Dm G Am

And the boys coming home from the war,

Am C Em

Last night, they were dancing in the streets,

Dm Em Am

And making music in the alleyways and bars,

C Am G

From a house down by the old town came the sound of guitars,

C Em F

Margarita was waiting inside,

C F G

With her long black hair hanging down beneath the red light,

Am Dm G Am

And she smiled, for the boys coming home from the war,

Dm G Am F Am F

The boys coming home from the war,

C F

And they said we were heroes, they said we were fine,

C F

We were kings in command, we had God on our side,

C F G Am F

And we said "nothing will make us change in any way,

C F

Since yesterday, we're just the same,

C F

Since yesterday, nothing has changed,

C F

Since yesterday, we're all the same,"

C G

But I can feel there's a new kind of hunger inside,

F G Am F

To be satisfied, I saw it there last night,

Am C Em

Last night I was walking through the shadows,

Dm Em Am

Far away from all the music and the girls,

C Am G

When I saw a soldier waiting with a woman in black,

C Em F

And they stood without any word,

C F G Am

Just staring at a photograph of someone, and she began to cry,

Dm G Am

For a boy left behind in the war,

Dm G Am F Am F

Some boy left behind in the war,

C F

And they said we were heroes, they said we were fine,

C F

We were kings in command, we had God on our side,

C F G Am F

And we said "nothing will make us change in any way,

C F

Since yesterday, we're just the same,

C F

Since yesterday, nothing has changed,

C F

Since yesterday, we're all the same,"

C G

But I can feel there's this new kind of hunger inside,

F G Am F Am F

To be satisfied, I saw it there last night,

G Am

I saw it there last night...
