       F#             E    F#
These mist covered moun_tains
                  B  Bsus4  B
Are a home now for me,
        B/A#         G#m   D#m
But my home is the low_lands
                 E   F#sus4
And always will be.

      F#            G#m    D#m
Some day you'll return__ to___
                       E     C#m  F#sus4
Your valleys and your farms,
           F#         G#m          E           F#sus4
And you'll no longer burn to be bro_thers in arms.__

               F#            E     F#
Through these fields of destruc_tion,__
                    B  Bsus4  B
Baptisms of fire.____
       B/A#            G#m     D#m
I've witnessed your suf__fering
                        E    F#sus4
As the battle raged higher.

      F#                 G#m      D#m
And though they did hurt me so bad___
                  E    C#m  F#sus4
In the fear and alarm,
     F#       G#m            E            F#sus4
You did not de_sert me my bro_thers in arms.__

             F#              G#m  B  F#
There's so ma_ny different worlds,
     B              E    F#sus4
So ma_ny different suns,
    F#                G#m   B  F#
And we have just one world,
        B                  E
But we live in different ones.

          F#              E   F#
Now the sun's gone to hell__ and
                   B  Bsus4  B
The moon's riding high.
       B/A#             G#m  D#m
Let me bid you farewell,
                       E   F#sus4
Every man has to die.___

            F#           G#m     D#m
But it's written in the star___ light
                          E  C#m  F#sus4
And every line in your palm,
        F#          G#m           E              F#sus4  F#
We're fools to make war on our bro_thers in arms.___
