[G] He came back from the [Em] city, [C] says, "'Cause where you been, [G] brother, I've been [Em] living on the [D] wire
[G] Lived down in that [Em] gutter where [C] the fittest [Am] survived, plowed through [Em] them fields of fire
Had a needle in a [Em] vein [C] that profited the [Am] same, had [G] a friend with no [Em] name who was a [E] liar
Saw [G] the white walls of [Em] freedom, never [C] found the black [Am] door, saw [G] the devil sing [Em] with angels in a choir

[G] He came back from the [Em] city, [C] says, "'Cause where you been, [G] brother, I've been [Em] living on the _ [D] wire
[G] Lived down in that [Em] gutter where [C] the fittest [Am] survived, _ plowed through [Em] them fields of fire

Had a needle in a [Em] vein [C] that profited the [Am] same, had [G] a friend with no [Em] name who was a [E] liar

[G] _ We'll take [Em] you home to [C] the land [Am] we know, [G] give you [G] that peace of _ [D] evening
[G] _ Give you [Em] that moon [C] with the wind on [Am] your face, [Em] the rains [Am] and the change of [C] each [E] season
[G] I saw people [Em] who were trapped [C] under the whip of [Am] fat cats, [G] saw people they [E] devoid of [Em] their dream
[E] _
[G] Deep down [Em] inside there [C] was so much to hide, brother, [G] you could see [Em] in their eyes there's no [E] meaning
[G] So take me, [Em] my sisters, [C] welcome me home [G] so I'll never again walk [E] alone
[G] Our spirit [Em] demands [C] that we die [Am] in this [G] land, no, now my spirits come _ home, sisters
We'll [Em] take you home [C] to the [Am] land we know, [G] give you that peace [Em] of _ [D]
evening
[G] Give [Em] you that moon with the [C] wind on your face, [G] the rains and the [E] change of each _ season

[G] say, brother, [Em] what you seize [C] in the land of [Am]
progress, [G] said I never felt them four winds of love
[D] _
[G] Live with people [Em] in chains, [C] the wounded [Am] and lame, [G] heard messiahs who [Em] spoke without [D] love
[G] Then the seven [Em] seas rolled, [C] the desert [Am] land froze, [G] each individual there was trapped in a [E] prison
[G] My spirit cried out, [C] no one else [Am] but us, brother, [G] their faces had no rhyme or [Em] no [E] reason, sisters
We'll take [Em] you home [C] to the land [Am] we know, [G] give you that peace [Em] of [D] evening
_ [G] Give you [Em] that moon [C] with the wind on [Am] your face, [G] the rains and the change [C] of each [E] season
