    C             F 
and we are still wild 
                     Am            G 
and we howl when the troubled wind blows 
            C          G 
and in the tv's blue light 
      C              F 
Oh assassins will lie

down in the streets 
                     Am          G

        C           G 
so they cover their eyes 
     C              F 
for who wants to be sad 
                     Am            G

        C            G 
and the mothers will cry 
C                   F 
fathers stay up all night 
                    Am          G 
with the worry that goes to the bones 
       C              G 
and if your god makes war 
        C          F 
then he's no god i know 
                       Am           G 
cause christ would not send boys to die 


          C          G 
don't you get low as hell 
          C             F 
when the peace dove is filled 
                  Am          G 
By a man with the blackest of minds 
     C        G 
and above the den 
        C       G 
let the sighing begin 
         Am                       G 
as we're bound for the longest of days
