CHORDS
G,C,E.D

Verse
G
Must it take a life for hateful eyes
E
To glisten once again
C
Five hundred years like Gelignite
E                D
Have blown us all to hell
G
What savior rests while on his cross we die
E
Forgotten freedom burns
C
Has the Shepard led his lambs astray
E                 D
To the bigot and the gun

Chorus
        C               G
Must it take a life for hateful eyes
   C            D
To glisten once again
         G       C             E
Cause we find ourselves in the same old mess
       G       D    G
Singin drunken lullabies

        C              D         G
Ah, but maybe it"s the way we"re taught
   C              D      G
Or maybe it"s the way we fought
      C           D             G        C
But a smile never grins without tears to begin
                   D          G
For each kiss is a cry we all lost
       C                  G
Though nothing is left to gain
            C                      D
But for the banshee that stole the grave
         G       C             E
Cause we find ourselves in the same old mess
       G       D    G
Singin drunken lullabies
