Broken land  (1988)     (video)

 

    Dm - G (2x)    +  Dm - Am - G (2x)

 

    Dm           Am                   G

1.      These rivers run too deep,

Dm            Am                        G

    with schemes of men for days that lay ahead.

Dm         Am                           G

    They sell their souls so cheap,

Dm          Am                       G

    they breed mistrust and fill my heart with dread.

F                           C                      G                                 F

    When did the boy become a man and lose his life to learn,

                          C                    G              A

    so much confusion to this plan, these times are not changing.

 

                       G                           A

Show me the love to keep us together,

                         G                                  A

open up your hearts, don‘t turn me away,

                        G                           A

comfort me through this stormy weather,

                        G                    A

from where I stand I see a broken land.

 

+  Dm - Am - G

 

    Dm          Am                          G  

2.        This boy has learned to fail,

Dm   Am                          G

    in times like these to cry seems so absurd.

Dm     Am                         G  

    His own life‘s a crisis pales

Dm           Am                  G

    in the shadow of this truly dying world.

F                           C                                    G 

    These are the games we played at school, our hands raised in

            F                      C                   G               A 

    despair, with no exception to the rule, these times are not changing.

 

                       G                           A

Show me the love to keep us together,

                         G                                  A

open up your hearts, don‘t turn me away,

                        G                           A       

comfort me through this stormy weather,

                        G                    A

from where I stand I see a broken land.

 

                      G                           A

Where is the love to keep us together,

                  G                               A

open the door, don‘t turn me away,

                        G                           A

comfort me through this stormy weather,

                        G                    A

from where I stand I see a broken land.
