[E]
They say the skies of Lebanon are burning, those night cedars bleed in the heat.
They show pictures on the television, women and children dying in the street.
And we're still at it in our old place, still trying to reach the future through the past.
Still trying to carve tomorrow from a tombstone.
But hey, don't listen to me, this wasn't meant to be no sad song.
I've heard too much of them before.
Right now I only want to be here with you [B] until the morning dew [E] comes falling.
[E] Yeah.
I want to [A] take you to the island, [B] trace your footprints in [E] the sand.
And in the evening when the sun goes down, we'll [B] make love [A] to the sound [E] of the ocean.
There'll be banners over by the markets, whitewash slogans on our shipyard walls.
Witch doctors bringing for a mighty showdown.
There's no way our holy flag is gonna fall.
[F#]
[G] [A] Up here we sacrifice our children [E] to feed the one our dreams of yesterday.
And teach [A] them dying will lead us into glory.
But [E] hey, don't listen to me, this wasn't meant to be [A] no sad song.
I've [B] sung too much of [E] them before.
Right now I only want to be here with you [B] until the morning dew [E] comes falling.
I want to [A] take you to the island, trace [B] your footprints [E] in the sand.
