[Verse 1]
G G
Must it take a life for hateful eyes
Em Em
To glisten once again
C C
Five hundred years like Gelignite
Em D
Have blown us all to hell (to hell!)
G G
What savior rests while on his cross we die
Em Em
Forgotten freedom burns
C C
Has the Shephard led his lambs astray
Em D
to the bigot and the gun
[Chorus]
C G
Must it take a life for hateful eyes
C D
To glisten once again
G C Em
Cause we find ourselves in the same old mess
G D G
Singin' drunken lullabies
[Post-chorus]
| G | C G | G | D |
| G | C G | G D | G |
[Verse 2]
G G
I watch and stare as Rosin`s eyes
Em Em
Turn a darker shade of red
C C
And the bullet with this sniper lie
Em D
In their bloody gutless cell
G G
Must we starve on crumbs from long ago
Em Em
Through these bars of men made steel
C C
Is it a great or little thing we fought
Em D
Knelt the conscience blessed to kill
[Chorus]
C G
Must it take a life for hateful eyes
C D
To glisten once again
G C Em
Cause we find ourselves in the same old mess
G D G
Singin' drunken lullabies
[Bridge]
C D G
Ah, but maybe it`s the way we're taught
C D G
Or maybe it`s the way we fought
C D G C
But a smile never grins without tears to begin
C D G G
For each kiss is a cry we all lost
C G
Though nothing left to gain
C D
But for the banshee that stole the grave
G C Em
Cause we find ourselves in the same old mess
G D G
Singin' drunken lullabies (right!)
[Solo]

[Verse 3]
G G
I sit in and dwell on faces past
Em Em
Like memories seem to fade
C C
No color left but black and white
Em D
And soon will all turn grey
G G
But may these shadows rise to walk again
Em Em
With lessons truly learnt
C C
When the blossom flowers in each our hearts
Em D
Shall beat a new found flame (the flame!)
[Chorus]
C G
Must it take a life for hateful eyes
C D
To glisten once again
G C Em
Cause we find ourselves in the same old mess
G D G
Singin' drunken lullabies
[Outro]
G C Em
Cause we find ourselves in the same old mess
G D G
Singin' drunken... lul... abies
G D G
Singin' drunken lullabies
