CAPO II
Chords: G, F#, A, D, Bm, F, Em  
MoGther you Asaw my eyeDs
On Gthe foF#urth of JuDly
UnGder a banneAr of roman cDandles
MoGther wAar is kBmind
LiGke hell bAut I am fiDne
Brother have you gone west
Have you followed through once yet
You are still younger how dare you forget
Brother war is best
In the morning when you've had rest
LiGke a lost dog between houses
In Dthe unknown open country
LiFne up at dawn to see who's missing
My Emage is a metaphor
It Donly speaks of everything Abefore
Daughter you wear my name
Those are my eyes keep 'em raised
I may have scars but I give more than I take
Daughter war is safe
Where you are far away
Lover are you gone
My heart has taken too much on
One octave lower than thunder it drums
lover war is done
In more ways than just one
Like a lost dog between houses
In the unknown open country
Like an outlaw now standing
At the foot of infinity
The sun is wild
And just in front of me
This is the short melodic part after the chorus. Listen to see how he picks out the 
between chords.
