[D] When [Gm] the roofs were laid in piles by the sides of the road
[F] Crashing into the air is tangled laundry [Gm] line
[F] When gathered in a field they were burned in a [Bb] feathering pile
[A] [Eb]
With a cold [D] black eye
When [Gm] the swallows fell from ears and the ghosts from the spire
The [F] starlings and the millions who feed on the ground where [Gm] they lie
[Dm] The ambulance [F] man said there's nowhere to flee for [Bb] your life
[A]
[Eb] So we stay [D] inside
And [Cm] we'll sleep until the [C] world [G] of man is [Gm] paralyzed

You've heard that [Cm] song before
They're leaving [D] us alone
And [Gm] the shanty page just rings and [Bb] it's hard like a bell
And in [Cm] these cold stars
And these troubled [D] hearts
And [Eb] the cries of men let the kingdom come [D] [D] tonight
Let the stream be [G] realized
