[Intro]
G  D  Am  G  D  C
 
 
G      D                Am
  as I walk beneath the valley,
 
G         D       Am
  I shall fear no evil,
 
G               D                   Am
  for thanks to King George and his rainbow cabinet,
 
G       D         C      D
  today murder is legal
 
 
G       D              Am
  God I know that it's wrong,
 
G            D                   Am
  to kill my brother for what he hasn't done,
 
G            D                  C
  and as the planes blacken the sky,
 
F                D
  it sounds like heaven is falling,
 
G    D           Am        C
  it sounds like heaven is falling,
 
G     D             Am        C
  you promised me a new day a dawning
 
G             D                  C
  I've seen a thousand points of light,
 
F                                          G
  like so many points of hatred, shame and horror
 
 
[Solo]
 
 
G       D            Am
  God I want to be a man,
 
G             D                  Am
  but I don't want to die with a rifle in my hand,
 
G            D                  C
  and as the planes blacken the sky,
 
F                D
  it sounds like heaven is falling,
 
G    D           Am        C
  it sounds like heaven is falling,
 
G     D             Am        C
  you promised me a new day a dawning
 
G              D                 C
  well nothing here looks new to me,
 
F
  but a score of mothers 'sons
 
                                            G
  caught 'tween the devil and the deep blue sea
 
 
F  G
