[Intro 1]
[G][Em][C][G]
[C][G][Em][D][C][G]

[Verse 1]
Your [G]sword's
grown [Am]old [Em]and rusty
[Am]Burnt [D]beneath the [C]rising [G]sun
It's locked up [Em]like a trophy
For[D]getting all [G]the things [C]it's [G]done
And though it's [Am]been [Em]a long time
You're [Am]right back [D]where
you [C]started [G]from
I see it [Em]in your eyes
[D]That now you're giving [G]up the [C]gun
[G]When I was seventeen,

[Verse 2]
[G]
[Em]I had wrists like stee[G]l[D]
And I felt [G]com[C]plete[G]
And now my body fades
[Em]behind a brass chara[D]de
And I'm [G]ob [C]solete
[G]But if the chance remains
[Em]to see those better [G]days
[D]I'd cut the cannon[G]s dow[C]n[G]
My ears are blown to bits
from all the rifle hits
[D]But still I [G]crave that [C]sound[G]

[Verse 3]
Your [Am]sword's [G]grown [Am]old a[Em]nd rusty
[Am]Burnt [G]beneath [D]the [Am]rising [C]sun[G]
It's locked up [Em]like a trophy
[C]Forget[D]ting all[G] the things it'[C]s don[G]e
And though it's [Am]been [Em]a long time
You're [Am]right [D]back where
you [C]started [G]from
I see it [Em]in your eyes
That [D]now you're giving [C]up the gun
[G]I hea[C]rd you play

[Verse 4]
[G]guitar down
[Em]at a seedy bar
[D]Where skinheads used to [C]fight
[G]Your Tokugawa smile and
your garbage style
[C]Used [G]to save the [C]night
[D]You felt the coming wav[G]e,
[C]told me we'd all be brave
[D]You said you wouldn't fli[C]nch
[D]But in the years that passed,
[C]since I saw you last
You haven't [G]moved an inch

[Verse 5]
Your [G]sword's grown [Em]old and rusty
[Am]Burnt [D]beneath the [Am]rising [C]sun[G]
It's locked up [Em]like a trophy
For[D]getting all [G]the things [C]it's [G]done
And though it's [Em]been a long time
You're [Am]right [D]back where
you [Am]star[C]ted [G]from
I see it [Em]in your eyes
That [D]now you're giving [G]up [C]the gun
[G][Em]

[Verse 7]
[G]Your sword's grown [Em]old and rusty
[D]Burnt [Dsus4]beneath the r[C]ising s[G]un
