_ [F] _ _ _ _ [A] _ _ _
[D] _ _ [Bb] _ _ _ _ _ [G] _
We met as [Dm] _ soulmates [G] on Paris [C] Island
We left [Dm] as inmates from [G] an [C] asylum
And we [Em] were sharp, [Am] as sharp [Em] as knives
[Am] And [Dm] we were so gung-ho to lay [G] down our lives
[C] _ [G] We [Dm] came in spastic, [D] like [C] tameless horses
We [F] left in plastic, [G] as numbered [C] corpses
And [Em] we learned fast _ [Am] to travel [Em] light
_ [Am] Our [Dm] arms were heavy, [F] but our bellies were tight
We _ _ _ [C] _ _ _
_ [D] _ _ _ _ [G] _ _ _
had [Dm] no hope to find
[D] We had no [G] soft [C] soul
[Em] They sent us [F] playboy
They gave us [C] farm hope
We [Em] dug in deep [Am] and shot [Em] on
_ And [Dm] prayed to Jesus Christ [F] with all of our might
_ [G] We had no [F] cameras [G] to shoot the [C] landless grave
We passed the [F] hash pipe [D] and played our ghost [C] games
And it was dark, [Em] _ [Am] so dark at [Em] night
And [Dm] we held on to each other like [C] father to daughter
We [Bb] promised not [F] to speak [Gm] right
And [F] we would all [Bb] _ [C] go _ [Bb] _
_ [Am] _ _ down [C] _ _ [Bb] _
_ [F] _ _ _ _ [G] together
Remember _ _ [F] _ _ _ [C] _ [D] _ _
_ _ _ [G] _ _ _ _ _
[Dm] Charlie, [G] remember [C] Vega
They [D] left their [F] childhood on [C] every acre
And [G] who was wrong, [Em] _ [Am] and who was [E] right
[Am] It [Dm] did not [C] become right
[Bb] _ _ _ _
_ [G] _ _ _ _ [A] We _ [C] held the bell [D] on [E] the porch
[Dm] No one heard
_ [E] _ [Am] And they ruled [C] the night
_ [E] And the night
_ Seemed to last [G] as long as [F] six weeks
[G] On Parrish [C] Island
We held the [F] coal shrine
They held the [C] highlands
And they were sharp, [A] as sharp as [Em] knives
[Am] They heard [Dm] the hum of our motors
[C] They counted the roosters
[Bb] That waited for [F] us to [Gm] arrive _
And we [F] would all [Bb] go down [C] together
_ [F]
Each time we'd all go down [C] together
_ [Bb]
Yes, we [F] would all go down [G] together _ _
