F                                             C/G 
Was it bitter then, with our backs against the wall
   G                                        C/G    
Were we better men, then we'd ever been before
   F                                                         C/G  
Say if she came again today, would you still answer to the call
   G                                           C/G 
Tell the truth my friend, don't it matter anymore

[Verse]
   F                                           C/G
We were simple men, by her side when she was born
  G                                            C/G  
It was simple then, like the freedom when you fall
  F                                                         C/G 
We were smaller then you see, but soon we gathered like a storm
   G                                              C/G
They don't understand what that thunder meant at all

[Verse]  
  F                                      C/G
Was he crucified, was he done in by the law
 G                                        C/G
Are you satisfied that he'll never ride again
   F                                                    C/G  
Some people say he got away, they say he never died at all
   G                                           C/G
If that story's true, does it bother you my friend

[Chorus]
 F                                             C/G 
Was it bitter then, with our backs against the wall
   G                                        C/G    
Were we better men, then we'd ever been before
   F                                                         C/G  
Say if she came again today, would you still answer to the call
   G                                           C/G 
Tell the truth my friend, don't it matter anymore
