The     day they freed the    noise

            D - Dsus4                  D                               

There were            scarlett coated    boys

          D5                   D*                               

Marching      down the village     morra fair

         D - Dsus4                                     D               

We were            there, weren´t we brother, we were    there





         D                                    E7               

We were    there, weren´t we brother, we were     there

        G                                     D               

We were    there, weren´t we brother, we were    there

         D                                         E7          

We were    there, when they killed him, weren´t we     brother

        G                                 D       Dsus4 - D /             

We were    there, we were there, we were    there

And the     birds still sang,     then, didn´t they

G                       D        Dsus4 - D - Dsus2 -                               

   When we had ears to     hear 

D                            E7                                

   And the trees still grew     in the foggy sun

G                  D                                          

   For they had no    reason to fear



G                   F - Em                                         

    A crushing blow         Of the axeman steel 

D              A               Asus4 - A                                

   As it shot     upon us all 



D                       E7                                     

   And the houses wept,      As the children slept

G                      D                                      

   They knew the walls    would fall





              D                                    E7               

And we were    there, weren´t we brother, we were     there

        G                                     D               

We were    there, weren´t we brother, we were    there

         D                                         E7          

We were    there, when they killed him, weren´t we     brother

        G                                 D       Dsus4 - D /

     G                   D                                     

with    hast the dog-tag     read

        D                          E7                           

As his    blind eyes lookd at the     foggy sun

    G                            D                             

He    didn´t know the noise was    dead

G                         F - Em                                   

 And the words still rang         then didn´t they

D             A                Asus4 - A                                 

 Without the    years to hear 

D                                 E7                           

 And the trees were burned by the     foggy sun

G                       D       Dsus4 - D                               

 They had reason now to    fear 





              D                                    E7               

And we were    there, weren´t we brother, we were     there

        G                                     D               

We were    there, weren´t we brother, we were    there
