[Dm][G][C]

[Verse 1]
[A]Few of the sins of the father,
are [C]visited upon the son
[G]Hearts have been hard, our hands
have been clenched in a [D]fist too long
Our [A]sons will never be soldiers,
our [C]daughters will never need guns
[G]These are the years between
These are the years that were [D]hard
fought and won

[Verse 2]
Now [A]contracts torn at the edges,
old [C]signatures stained with tears
[G]Seasons of war and peace,
these should not be for[D]gotten yaers
Still it [A]aches like tetanus,
it [Am]reeks of politics
[G]How many dreams re[F]main?
[C]This is a feeling too [G]strong to contain

[Chorus 1]
The [C]hardest years, the [Am]darkest years,
the [F]roarin' years, the [G]fallen years
[C][Am]
[C]These should not be for[G]gotten years
The [C]hardest years, the [Am]wildest years,
the [F]desperate and di[C]vided years
[Dm]We w[Am]ill remember[C]
(... not be for[G]gotten years)

[Interlude 1]

[Dm][G][C]

[Verse 3]
Our [A]shoreline was never invaded,
our [C]country was never in flames
[G]This is the calm we breathe,
this is a feeling too [D]strong to contain
Still it [A]aches like tetanus,
it [Am]reeks of politics
[G]Signatures stained with [F]tears
[C]Who can remember, we've [G]got to remember

[Chorus 2]
The [C]hardest years, the [Am]darkest years,
the [F]roarin' years, the [G]fallen years
[C][Am]
[C]These should not be for[G]gotten years
The [C]hardest years, the [Am]wildest years,
the [F]desperate and di[C]vided years
[Dm]We w[Am]ill remember[C]
(... not be for[G]gotten years)

[Chorus 3]
I said it's the [C]hardest years, the [Am]darkest years,
the [F]roarin' years, the [G]fallen years
[C][Am]
[C]These should not be for[G]gotten years
The [C]hardest years, the [Am]wildest years,
the [F]desperate and di[C]vided years
[Dm]We w[Am]ill remember[C]
(... not be for[G]gotten years)

[Chorus 4]
For[C]saking aching [Am]breaking years,
the [F]time and tested [G]heartbreak years
[C][Am]
Who needs someone to [C]sing to you [G]now?
The [C]blinded years, the [Am]binded years,
the [F]desperate and di[C]vided years
[Dm]Thes[Am]e should not be forgotte[C]n years
(... for[G]gotten years)
