Lyrics & chords

[Intro 1]
[G][Em][G][Em]
[G]Pre>c am Many's the

[Verse 1]
[G]
hour I've [Em]lain
by my window
See am
And [G]thought of the people
who [Em]carried the burden
See am
[G]Who marched in the strange fields
in [Em]search of an answers
See am g
And [G]ended their journeys
an [Em]unwilling [D]hero

[Verse 2]
Am em [D]am [Em]g
Here's a song to [Bm]those who are gone
[Em]with never a reason [D]why
Em am
And a [Bm]toast of the wine at
[Em]the end of the line
D7 g
And a toll [A]of the bell [Em]for
the [D]next one to die

[Verse 3]
Back [G]in the coal fields of
[Em]old harlan county
Some [G]talked of the union,
some [Em]talked of good wages
And they [G]lined them up in
the [Em]dark of the forests
An[G]d shot them down without
[Em]ask ing no quest[D]ions

[Verse 4]
[Em]Here's a song to those[Bm] who are
gone [Em]with never a reason [D]why
And a [Bm]toast of the wine to
[Em]the end of the line
And a [A]toll of the bell [Em]for
the [D]next one to die

[Verse 5]
And [G]over the ocean,
to the [Em]red spanish soil
Came the [G]lincoln brigade
with their [Em]dreams
But they [G]fell in the fire of
[Em]germany's bombing
And [G]they fell 'cause no one [Em]would hear
their sad [D]warning[Em]

[Verse 6]
Here's a song to [Bm]those who are
gone [Em]with never a reason [D]why
And a [Bm]toast of the wine [G]at
[Em]the end of the line
And a toll of the bell for the [D]next one to die

[Verse 7]
In [G]old alabama, in [Em]old mississippi
Two [G]states of the union so
[Em]often found guilty
They [G]came on the busses,
they [Em]came on the marches
And they [G]lay in the jails or they
[Em]fell by the [D]highway

[Verse 8]
[Em]Here's a song to those[Bm] who are
[Em]gone with never a reason [D]why
And a [Bm]toast of the wine [Em]at
the end of the line
And a toll [A]of the bell for [Em]the
[D]next one to die

[Verse 9]
[G]The state it was texas,
the [Em]town it was dallas
In the [G]flash of a rifle a [Em]life was soon over
And [G]nobody thought of the
[Em]past million murders
And the [G]long list of irony(? ) had
[Em]found a new [D]champion

[Verse 10]
[Em]Here's a song to those[Bm] who are gone
[Em]with never a reason [D]why
[D]And a toa[Bm]st of the wine
[Em]at the end of the line
And a toll [A]of the bell for
the next [D]one to die
