Capo on 3
Intro:
A Em D
Am
On this day all the trees in Rhodesia are aflame
As the eyes of the griever
Em D
With flowers of aching replete
Am
And my mind's overflowing with vengeance
For to pine is not an occupation but a sentence
Em D
And in time we will all be faking retreat
Am
Have you got rid of it yet?
This faith corroded with neglect
Em D
Can we ever hide the hurt?
Am
At least at night the harvest sun's yoke
Is rising like rebel smoke
Em D
Beyond the oceans in swirls
Am
And it will shame us now
C G
And it will shame us still
Am
And it will shame us now
C G
And it will shame us still

Am [for 4 beats]
Am
What a hollow promise from hollow men
Em D
What a shallow grave for shallow men
Am
You're the bull that paws the earth
The leopard that teaches to run
Em D
You're the crocodile that eats the sun
Am
So we walk on through and beyond
Em D
The failures of men
Am
And we know there's a void at the center
Em D
of everything
Am
And it will shame us now
C G
And it will shame us still
Am
And it will shame us now
C G
And it will shame us still
[play that last part again, but peppered with the following lyrics and play until end]
It was wrong to come here
I was wrong to come here
