The     day they freed the    noise
            D - Dsus4                  D                               
There were            scarlett coated    boys
          D5                   D*                               
Marching      down the village     morra fair
         D - Dsus4                                     D               
We were            there, weren´t we brother, we were    there


         D                                    E7               
We were    there, weren´t we brother, we were     there
        G                                     D               
We were    there, weren´t we brother, we were    there
         D                                         E7          
We were    there, when they killed him, weren´t we     brother
        G                                 D       Dsus4 - D /             
We were    there, we were there, we were    there 


         D                     E7                               
And the     birds still sang,     then, didn´t they
G                       D        Dsus4 - D - Dsus2 -                               
   When we had ears to     hear 
D                            E7                                
   And the trees still grew     in the foggy sun
G                  D                                          
   For they had no    reason to fear

G                   F - Em                                         
    A crushing blow         Of the axeman steel 
D              A               Asus4 - A                                
   As it shot     upon us all 

D                       E7                                     
   And the houses wept,      As the children slept
G                      D                                      
   They knew the walls    would fall


              D                                    E7               
And we were    there, weren´t we brother, we were     there
        G                                     D               
We were    there, weren´t we brother, we were    there
         D                                         E7          
We were    there, when they killed him, weren´t we     brother
        G                                 D       Dsus4 - D /             
We were    there, we were there, we were    there 


D               E7                                             
   Number zero,     forty-one, 
     G                   D                                     
with    hast the dog-tag     read
        D                          E7                           
As his    blind eyes lookd at the     foggy sun
    G                            D                             
He    didn´t know the noise was    dead
G                         F - Em                                   
 And the words still rang         then didn´t they
D             A                Asus4 - A                                 
 Without the    years to hear 
D                                 E7                           
 And the trees were burned by the     foggy sun
G                       D       Dsus4 - D                               
 They had reason now to    fear 


              D                                    E7               
And we were    there, weren´t we brother, we were     there
        G                                     D               
We were    there, weren´t we brother, we were    there
         D                                         E7          
We were    there, when they killed him, weren´t we     brother
        G                                 D       Dsus4 - D /             
We were    there, we were there, we were    there
