Here's a story about the rules of death and glory 

      Em                                 (Riff 1) 

To be learned by heart by all children of men 

         F                          Am 

It's the hour of the morning on the day after the dawning 

         Bb                             G 

When the sun they said would never set finally set again 

        C          C7+               C              C7+ 

Was it cromwell or orwell who first led you to the stairwell 

       Em                           (Riff 2) 

Which leads only forever to kingdom come 

         F                      Am 

Rushed alone by guiding hands whispers of the promised land 

      Bb                               G     G G# 

They wished you luck and handed you a gun 



                  C          G G# 

Life could be so handsome 

                  C     G G# 

Life could be so gay 

             C 

We're going nowhere 

     Bb                        G 

But nowhere, nowhere's on our way 



C                C7+          C                 C7+ 

In the pub that night racking out the lines of  

Em                                         (Riff 1) 

Putting to right all of the world's great wrongs 

        F                                         Am 

Yes we thought that they were brothers then they half-murdered each other 

           Bb                     G 

Then they did a karaoke turn and murdered our best song 



C                   C7+             C                 C7+ 

Told the governor's wife about the last night of his life 

     Em                               (Riff 1) 

She turned away in tears called you a liar 

          F                             Am 

Where are all the old dreams now? the batallions, once so proud 

Bb                                G                        G G# 

Lost in some old song and hanging on the old barbedwire 



                  C          G G# 

Life could be so handsome 

                    C      G G# 

It's so good to be okay 

             C 

We're going nowhere 

     Bb                        G 

But nowhere, nowhere's on our way
