F  Bb   F  Bb 


VERSE:
F             Am
  The sky has no end tonight
Bb                       C
 Clear view beyond the stars

F                 Am
  Daylight in the early dawn
Bb                        C
  There's no-one left unscarred

Dm               Am
  Sand is drying up the tears
 Bb                          C
Burnt shells soaking up the sun

              F
The generals laughing 
         Bb
With no fear
               F           Bb  F
Because their work is done


VERSE:
 F          Am 
Liquid gold was in their sights
Bb                       C
Paid with blood by infantry

F                Am
  Giant statues ripped and torn
Bb                         C
All engineered so brilliantly

Dm                    Am
  Back home it's the Wild West
Bb                          C
Children sleeping in their beds

       F
Grown men 
                 Bb
That passed the test
                    F   Bb
Now free to go and wed


CHORUS:
 F                    Bb
I'm through with the fighting 
         F      A       Dm
All the terror and the pain
               F
I've seen the lightning
          Bb
Felt the thunder 
         C   C
And the rain

 F                      Bb     
The silver birds come screaming
           F           A          Dm
Painting blood right through the skies
         Bb
Still I worry, 
       C
And I wonder
        F   Bb  F  Bb  F
Wonder why


VERSE:
 F                Am
They tell us it's O-K to kill
Bb                            C
  They're just vermin in the sand

F                   Am
  Don't worry 'bout the blood you spill
           Bb                C
You'll be forgiven by God's hand

Dm               Am
  Images etched behind their eyes
Bb                  C
  Will never fade away

  F                          Bb
Eternal buildings turned to dust
             F   Bb
In just one day


CHORUS:
 F                    Bb
I'm through with the fighting 
         F      A       Dm
All the terror and the pain
               F
I've seen the lightning
          Bb
Felt the thunder 
         C   C
And the rain

 F                      Bb     
The silver birds come screaming
           F           A          Dm
Painting blood right through the skies
         Bb
Still I worry, 
       C
And I wonder
        F   Bb  F  Bb  
Wonder why


CHORUS:
 F                    Bb
I'm through with the fighting 
         F      A       Dm
All the terror and the pain
               F
I've seen the lightning
          Bb
Felt the thunder 
         C   C
And the rain

     F                  Bb     
The silver birds come screaming
           F           A          Dm
Painting blood right through the skies
         Bb
Still I worry, 
       C
And I wonder
        F   Bb  
Wonder why
