In The News

D

[Chorus]
D
Read about the sorry way he done somebody's daughter
A                            D
Chained to a heavy thing and threw her in the water
        D
And she sank into the darkness with their baby son inside her
A                                  D
A little piece of truth and beauty died

[Verse]
D
Burnin' up the atmosphere and cuttin' down the trees
    A                           D
The billion dollar bombin' of a nation on its knees
D
Anyone not marchin' to their tune they call it treason
A                           D
Everyone says God is on his side
        D                  G
See the lightnin' hear the cries
       A                          D
Of the wounded of a world in holy war
                        G
Mortal thunder from the skies
        A                                   D
Killin' everything they say they're fightin for

[Verse]
       D              G
Broken babies, broken homes
      A                      D
Broken hearted people dyin' everyday
                             G
How'd this happen, what went wrong
            A                              D
Don't blame God I swear to God I heard Him say
        D               G
"Not in My name, not on My ground
       A                             D
I want nothin' but the endin' of the war
                        G
No more killin' or it's over
        A                    D
And the Mystery won't matter anymore"

[Verse]
       D                G
Broken dreamers, broken rules
      A                               D
Broken hearted people just like me and you
                       G
We are children of the stars
            A                              D
Don't blame God I swear to God He's cryin' too
        D                  G
"Not in My name, not on My ground
       A                             D
I want nothin' but the endin' of the war
                         G
No more killin', or it's over
        A                    D
And the Mystery won't matter anymore"
