[Bm]
They came from the hills, and they came from the valleys and the plains,
Struggled in the cold, in the heat and the snow and in the rain,
Came [A] to [Bm] here in [A] vain, [D] [A]
[Bm] lay [A] their [Bm] minds away.
[A] [D] [E]
[A] We're all following [D] a [A] strange melody, we're [D] all stung by a tune,
[E] [F#m] We're following [D] the fire,
[E] [A] [E] [A] [D] [A]
[D] [F#m] we're following the fire,
[D]
[E] As we leave the [A] good morning.

[Bm]
They came from the south, from the west and the north and from the east,
They made for the land, like a parish is waiting for the priest,
Long [A] to [Bm] here in [A] vain, [D] [A]
[Bm] lay [A] their [Bm] minds away.

They lived a dream, he seduced everybody in the land,
Fire in his eyes, and the fear was a weapon in his hand,
So [A] they [Bm] let him [A] play, [D] [A]
[Bm] lay [A] their [Bm] minds [A] away.
