[Intro]

D D D D

[Verse 1]

A D A G

I´ve seen the sunlight shining on the valley

A D A G

I´ve seen the shadows darken on the deep

A D A G

I´ve seen the young men riding out for glory

Em A D A G

And broken in defeat

[Verse 2]

A D A G

There was an hour that never knew a gloaming

A D A G

The whole of life, enchanted in a day

A D A G

And we´ll be there, forever in the places

Em A D A G

Where we used to be

[Verse 3]

A D A G

Passing the hedgerows, moving through the orchards

A D A G

Through the bocàge and breaking out for Caen

A D A G

Dealing fear and all our dices loaded

Em A D Dsus4

With the courage of the dawn

[Chorus]

Bm A D

And some will rise and some will fall

G Bm Em A

To gain the world or lose it all

Bm Em G

And that time was mine to hear you

A A7sus4

when you called

Bm A D

You were our youngest, brightest flower

G Bm Em A

Walking side by side through our darkest hour

Bm Em G A A7sus4

We´ll take this cup, this portion evermore

[Verse 4]

A D A G

I´ve seen the last wave breaking on the beaches

A D A G

I´ve seen the angels crying on the wire

A D A G

I´ve seen the first star up and brightly shining

Em A D A G

Couldn´t rise much higher

[Verse 5]

A D A A7 G

Now we´re waiting here not getting older

A A7 D A G

But we can dream like we can not believe

A A7 D A A7 G

With all those fools, those great historic moments

Em A D Dsus4

That flatter do deceive.

[Chorus 2]

Bm A D

And some will come and some will go

G Bm Em A

To rise on wings in skies of gold

Bm Em G Em A Asus4

Or to fall down to the final, silent cold

Bm A D

When I was young it burned so bright

G Bm Em A

The only son, a rising Christ

Bm Em G Em A Asus4

Now I´m left here in the fall-out of that life
