1. In this our life        on earth, another dawn we face,

G                                      D     - C                                    A

    is this the moment of truth         for the whole human race ?

                       D     A     D                             G                D

    Is that the last man down, is that the last life laid to waste ?

G                                  D        C                                                  A

    Can we find in our hearts each and every dream we’ve misplaced ?

                    F                  C                                       A      - A7

    Before heaven cries tears, on the mountain we climb.

 

D                    Bm       - D                A    

    Farewell to arms,          rest in peace,

G                             D                   A   

    may the rain of freedom be released !

D                     Bm     - D                                   A

    Farewell to arms,        we just can’t walk away,

G                                     D                                  A

    we’re all sharing this earth at the end of the day.

 

                       D      A       D                    A               D

2. When the cold  winds bite, and the mad dogs speak,

G                                      D      - C                                           A

    however dark is your night,          just keep turning your cheek.

                                 D       A      D                           G                   D

    ’Cause when the last shot’s fired, it is then the world will be free,

G                           D          - C                                 A

    and still we are asking         just how long will it be ?

                              F                   C                                          A

    Though we’re blown by the crosswinds, we stand like a tree.

 

+  CHORUS

+        Down this road we’ve wandered for so many years,

Bb                    C         D                  Bb            C         D

    with every step we take we can tear down all frontiers,

                         A

   make no mistake !

    may the rain of freedom be released !
