[Verse 1]
[Gm]Under the ruin[C]s of a walle[Gm]d city[C]
[Gm]Crumbling towe[C]rs and beams[Gm]
of yellow [C]lights
[Gm]No flags of tr[C]uce, no crie[Gm]s of pity[C]
[Gm]The siege guns have [C]been
pound[Gm]ing through the n[C]ights
[Eb]It took a day [C#]to build[Eb] the city[C#]
[Eb]We walked thro[C#]ugh its streets
in [Eb]the after[C#]noon
[F#m]As I returned[B] across the fi[F#m]elds i'd known[B]
[F#m]I recognize t[B]he walls [F#m]that I once laid[B]
[F#m]Had to stop i[B]n my tra[F#m]cks for fear[B]
Of [B]walking on the mines I'd laid

[Chorus 1]
And [Em]if I b[D]uilt this fo[G]rtre[Am]ss
a[D]round your [C]heart[D][C]
En[Em]circled [D]you in [G]trenches
[Am]and barbed w[D]ire[C][D][C]
Then [Em]let me [D]build a [G]bridge[Am]
For I [D]cannot fill [C]the chas[D]m[C]
And [Cm]let me s[Dm]et the b[Eb]attlem[F]ents on

[Verse 2]
[Gm]Then I went [C]off to fight[Gm] some battle[C]
[Gm]That I'd in ve[C]nted inside [Gm]my head[C]
[Eb]Away so lo[C#]ng for years [Eb]and years[C#]
[Eb]You probably thoug[C#]ht
or even [Eb]wished that I was [C#]dead
[F#m]While the armies[B] are al[F#m]l sleeping[B]
[F#m]Beneath the ta[B]ttered flag w[F#m]e'd made[B]
[F#m]I had to sto[B]p my tracks[F#m] for fear[B]
Of [B]walking on the mines I'd laid

[Chorus 2]
And [Em]if I b[D]uilt this fo[G]rtre[Am]ss
a[D]round your [C]heart[D][C]
En[Em]circled [D]you in [G]trenches
[Am]and barbed w[D]ire[C][D][C]
Then [Em]let me [D]build a [G]bridge[Am]
For I [D]cannot fill [C]the chas[D]m[C]
And [Cm]let me s[Dm]et the b[Eb]attlem[F]ents on

[Verse 3]
[Gm]This prison has [C]now become[Gm] your home[C]
[Gm]A sentence you s[C]eem prepared[Gm] to pay[C]
[Eb]It took a day [C#]to build[Eb] the city[C#]
[Eb]We walked thro[C#]ugh its streets
in the [Eb]after[C#]noon
[F#m]As I returned[B] across the la[F#m]nds i'd known[B]
[F#m]I recognize t[B]he fields[F#m]
where I once [B]played
[F#m]Had to sto[B]p in my tra[F#m]cks for fear[B]
Of [B]walking on the mines I'd laid

[Chorus 3]
And [Em]if I b[D]uilt this fo[G]rtre[Am]ss
a[D]round your [C]heart[D][C]
En[Em]circled [D]you in [G]trenches
[Am]and barbed w[D]ire[C][D][C]
