G D Am

Ive seen bold knights, dropping down like flies,

G D Am

Ive seen kings, rolling in the mire,

G D Am C G

Ive seen God, point the finger of doom to our foes.

G D Am

I have fought in the holiest wars,

G D Am

I have smashed, some of the holiest jaws.

G D Am C G

Ive been jailed, been impaled, and been dragged through the world.

One thing, I have learned through these years,

G D Am

Is that no man, should be stricken with fear.

G D Am C G

It should be that he walks with no care in the world.

So my friends, who are gathered today,

Hear this clear, for I'll not further say.
