Verse 1:
 
Em 
with a shrug of her shoulders 
G 
the mountain came down 
       Am 
tore a path all the way to the water 
C 
through my sleeping town 

Em 
And the trails i'd wandered 
G 
on a race to the birth 
       Am 
of the million year old rock 
         C 
from the naked gasping earth 

 
C              D*                  Em  D 
oh my children where you gonna go 
C                D*                   Em   D 
now you lost the land you called your home 
         C                D*           Em    G 
when the earth is burning fever on her brow 
       C              D 
crying oh my children who will save you now

Verse 2:
 
Em 
now the winters hit harder 
G 
the summers are fire 
        Am 
and the rains are the tears of a mother 
        C 
for a rebellious reckless child 

Em 
still the spring brings clover 
G 
amid the blackened oaks 
Am 
sprays some fledgling branches 
        C              N.C. 
and the wild flowers below 

 
C              D*                  Em  D 
oh my children where you gonna go 
C                D*                   Em   D 
now you lost the land you called your home 
         C                D*           Em    G 
when the earth is burning fever on her brow 
       C              D                 Am 
crying oh my children who will save you now 


Bridge:
   C/B       C             D*           Am 
farewell the family of the hollis seeds 
    C/B      C               D*           Am C/B 
farewell the fragile air the sea the land 
              C                D*            Am    C/B 
five times before she seen the rise and fall again 
                   C 
but never by their own hand 
               Em 
never by their own 
N.C. 
oh my children

Verse 3:
 
Em 
chaos was my lover 
G 
fate is my bride 
        Am 
we will meet at the edge of the ocean 
        C 
and the ever rising tide 

 
C              D*                  Em  D 
oh my children where you gonna go
